One of our most popular auction items from years past.  A private tour for 4 to the newly remodeled MOMA conservation studios with Michael Duffy. The studios are not open to the public so a special behind-the-scenes treat for art lovers. The tour includes admission to the museum.

"Michael Duffy has a B.A. in Art History and a Masters in Art Conservation from the University of Delaware / Winterthur program. But he is best known as a paintings conservator at the MoMA in New York where he has been since 1993 where he specialises in the treatment of modern and contemporary paintings. He has the enviable task of working on some of the most iconic modernist painting in the world and he is known as the conservator who cleaned Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon for the reinstallation of the MoMA galleries. And, the Art Newspaper tells us, during the lockdown he walked about 5 miles round each and every gallery in MoMA in the dark aided by a flashlight checking there were no plumbing disasters or thefts!"
