Abstract
Ascending Yellow is a memorial exhibition and art auction celebrating the late Dr. Richard A. Long, the longtime Fine Art Advisor to the Galleries. Long’s steadfast devotion to the preservation of the permanent collection made him an invaluable supporter until his death in January 2013. Long had an extensive cultural legacy in the humanities – founder of the Triennial International African Art Symposium in its 15th cycle – and his contribution to the visual arts.
