The Aspen Art Museum will keep its exhibition of work by British artist Rose Wylie on view through the fall, new museum director Nicola Lees announced in a letter to supporters this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo give this important exhibition proper time for viewing and enjoyment upon reopening, we are happy to announce that it has been extended and will close this fall,\u201d Lees wrote in her first director\u2019s letter since taking the post April 1.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cwhere i am and was,\u201d the show is the first major U.S. retrospective of Wylie\u2019s work. It has been unseen by the public, as it was installed during the public health closure of the museum due to the novel coronavirus. It had been scheduled to run March 20 through July 5. It will now hang until at least Sept. 30, a museum spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The museum is expected to announce in early June its plans for reopening, as public health orders allow. In the meantime, it is hosting a number of online offerings about Wylie and her work, including selections from the show<\/a>, a catalog excerpt<\/a>, documentary film and podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n
