This 1,000 piece puzzle features Barbara Ernst Prey's monumental watercolor painting Building 6 Portrait: Interior.
Best known for her plein air paintings, Prey’s commission sets a new benchmark for the size and scale of watercolor works on paper, among the most unforgiving combination of any painterly media. Her piece tackles the vast horizontal spread of the Wilson Building’s second floor, which comprises a full acre of floor area, with some 400 columns, hundreds of windows, and layers and layers of paint. “This commission is a painter’s dream, an engaging subject combined with a breathtaking scale for this media,” says Prey. “I have long admired MASS MoCA’s commitment to breaking boundaries in commissioning and presenting new works, and am thrilled to have been asked to create a piece that celebrates the organization’s ongoing growth and success. The architecture, the light, the colors, and the different textures of the space in the building are all compelling subjects, and this piece has pushed my boundaries as an artist, opening up new perspectives on watercolor painting.”
Completed puzzle measures 19.25" x 26.625"
