    Additional information

    In 1964, Kenneth Noland created a series of geometric stained canvas paintings depicting rings and chevrons, which were then featured in the Venice Biennale presentation of contemporary American painting. Harvard Art Museums conservators have recently advanced understanding of how to treat these stained canvas paintings, which represent an innovative development in painting from this era. Join a conversation between a curator and a conservator about preparing Noland’s works for display in the exhibition The Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond (May 24–August 17, 2025).
