Mai Coe’s Bedroom
Opens April 1 with newly recreated landscape murals to replace the lost originals by Robert Winthrop Chanler. In 1921 the walls and ceiling of Mai Coe’s bedroom, in the newly built Coe Hall, were painted with a remarkable landscape mural by the American artist Robert Winthrop Chanler. Mrs. Coe died only three years later, and in the late 1920s William Robertson Coe’s third wife, Caroline, had the room completely re-decorated (the murals, originally on canvas, were later destroyed by fire). During the last six months, Chanler’s work on the bedroom’s plaster walls and ceiling has been recreated by scenic artist Polly Wood-Holland and her assistant Joyce Kubalak. Their work is based on just two surviving color photographs taken soon after the murals were originally completed. The project is part of Planting Fields Foundation’s ongoing restoration of Coe Hall. For further information contact Jennifer Lavella 922-8678 or jlavella@plantingfields.org.
