where the focus will be the 1857 Tompkins Matteson painting of the
inauguration of the Dudley Observatory - a who’s who of the celebrated
politicians, businessmen and famous scientists responsible for bringing
the Observatory to life.
Directly following the gala, you are invited to participate in a
re-creation of Matteson’s
painting, staged by artists Michael Oatman and Joe Putrock. This
modern day depiction will capture, on film, present-day political leaders,
scientists, and astronomy enthusiasts, and will be placed in the
collection of the Albany Institute of History & Art.
The tableau photograph will be staged in Chancellor’s Hall at the State Education Building, located one block away.
