The
fundraising endeavor for the quadruple expansion of MSU’s
Kresge Art Museum has been under way for over two years now and
the museum will gladly agree to inscribe your name just about
anywhere in the new facility. Provided, of course, that you make
a sizable donation.
“A
lot of naming opportunities are still available, ranging from
as low as $5,000 to over $1 million,” said Mark Terman,
director of development for the College of Arts and Letters’
Special Projects.

April Kingsley is the curator for Kresge Art Museum. Behind
her is Kenneth Noland's "Bell" from 1959, which,
because of its size, is too large to place in storage.

Curator
April Kingsley stands in the center of Kresge Art Museum's 20th
century gallery, a 700-square foot area that is not much larger
than Kingsley's former New York City apartment. The space highlights
about a dozen or so works from the museum's permanent collection:
a still life with eggs -- a museum favorite by contemporary artist,
William Bailey; an 8-by-8 foot abstract piece by Kenneth Noland;
and a sculpture of twisted steel, wire and plastic by installation
artist Judy Pfaff.
....But
neither of these works are on display and haven't been for a while.
They sit in Kresge's dark basement alongside a portion of the
more than 7,000 works in the collection. The reason is simple:
there is no space for them.
