![Were excited to announce that Preservation Long Islands Art of Edward Lange Project, launched last summer with the arrival of curatorial fellow, Peter Fedoryk, has been extended! After launching the interactive Art of Edward Lange website this spring (featuring over 100 images of the artists Long Island views), we are now turning our attentions toward the creation of a new scholarly publication focused on Langes work on Long Island. Peter recently spent the day getting a jump-start on research in the magnificent Rose Reading Room at the New York Public Librarys Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. 🏛
