THE BARBARA ROMAIN ART ARCHIVE

Support the archive.

Four hundred paintings, forty years of exhibitions, and a life's record of a Philadelphia-born, Los Angeles-based painter who kept working after she lost her sight. The Archive is a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas. Your gift is tax-deductible.

What your gift does.

Digitize.

Print-resolution scans of the 400+ works, so every painting can be studied, published and reproduced from the original rather than a snapshot.

Conserve.

Framing, archival storage and conservation for the paintings, and the safe return of works still on loan from the touring years.

Exhibit.

The retrospective and the touring exhibition that put the work back in front of the public, with the catalogue and education programs that travel with it.
