Intricate Works at the Burchfield Penney Art Center

Works From the Gerald Mead Collection at Castellani Art Museum

by J. Tim Raymond
Gerald Mead was the always-helpful staff member at the Burchfield Penney Art Center when it was located at Rockwell Hall in the early 1990s. I took my senior dementia day-care group there on field trips. Over the years I often met him at art openings. He is a genuinely respected artist, writer, curator, and collector. Through mutual friends we are now connected on Facebook. Despite all this, I have never taken the opportunity to view his collection at one of the many venues to which he has lent or given works over the years.
