Peter Giopulos files on campus art 1999-2004

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/758000353

Files on the artwork on the Rochester Institute of Technology's campus, compiled by Peter Giopulos. Giopulos served as the associate dean for the College of Fine and Applied Arts at the university. The collection includes articles, clippings, correspondence, and miscellaneous administrative documents for each piece, as well as photographs of the items and tape recordings of interviews with some of the artists. The Peter Giopulos files on campus art contain various documents and items related to the artwork at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Most of the collection is made up of files on the specific pieces, such as Harry Bertoia's "Golden Dandelions." These files include correspondence, articles, clippings, and other related documents. There are also photographs of pieces in the collection. Henry Moore's sculpture, "Three Piece Reclining Figure No. 1," was restored in 1998, while Josef Albers's mural, "Growth and Youth," was restored in 1999. The files on these artists contain documents on these conservation efforts. The collection also includes few documents related to the original "Art on Campus" website. The website was designed during the late 1990s and was replaced by an updated version in 2004.
