Spring fix-up at the West Building of the National Gallery of Art/Patricia Leslie

 

If you’ve wondered if that’s spring cleaning on the exterior of the West Building of the National Gallery of Art, your hunch is right.

Deborah Ziska, the National Gallery’s chief of press and public information says “timely repairs” are underway at the building, including “re-pointing of joints,” which are typical improvements needed on a senior structure.

The Tennessee Pink marble wall and North portico at the Sixth Street entrance are receiving attention, and walls and porticoes are being refreshed “with a light mist.”

It’s never too early to get a joint lift, especially for those in their 70s and getting ready for their dodranscentennial celebration which would be the 75^th anniversary of the National Gallery's public opening in 1941.
