01:20 PM -- Governor's Portraits
Ms. Contiguglia said that a portrait of Governor Ritter will be added to the gallery of Governor portraits on the first floor soon. She explained that the committee does not oversee the gallery, but that the committee's guidelines direct that the portraits be hung in chronological order. Ms. Contiguglia explained that in order to make room for the new portrait, the oldest portraits will be moved from the west hall to the east hall on the first floor of the building. Mr. Lee said that Capital Complex staff will assist in hanging the portraits, but that he would like help from someone with a knowledge of art. Ms. Contiguglia suggested that he contact Jil Rosentrater from Colorado Creative Industries to see if she is available to assist. The committee discussed the challenge of moving the portraits, including the need to touch-up areas where the walls may have been damaged. Ms. Goldman said she thought that the Capitol Complex staff assisted with hanging of the portrait of Governor Owens. Mr. Nichols asked if it was possible to reorder the portraits so they don't all have to be moved, but Ms. Contiguglia explained that the committee's guidelines require that they all be moved in order to be in chronological order. Ms. Sill suggested using a hanging system. Ms. Donaldson explained that the hanging system installed in the basement rotunda for the rotating art exhibit cost several thousand dollars.
