Pérez Art Museum Collections Care
Following Hurricane Irma in 2017, EverGreene was engaged by Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) to assess its outdoor sculpture collection and develop immediate and long-term conservation recommendations. The collection includes significant works by artists such as Mark di Suvero, Anthony Caro, Jedd Novatt, and Pablo Atchugarry. EverGreene’s assessment addressed both storm-related damage and ongoing deterioration caused by Miami’s subtropical marine environment, identifying stabilization priorities, maintenance strategies, and works requiring more extensive treatment.
Based on the assessment, EverGreene conserved select sculptures within the Mary M. and Sash A. Spencer Sculpture Garden. Treatments included aqueous cleaning, corrosion removal, in-painting, and the application of protective wax and paint systems. The work was completed on an accelerated schedule to meet the museum’s needs.
EverGreene also developed a long-term maintenance plan for the collection and continues to support its ongoing care. Conservation and maintenance treatments have included:
- Chaos SAS by Jedd Novatt (2012, stainless steel)
- La Plume de Pierrot by Mark di Suvero (1974, painted steel)
- Land of Milk and Honey by Anthony Caro (2006, bronze)
- Chaos Bizkaia by Jedd Novatt (2012, bronze)
- Endless Evolution by Pablo Atchugarry (2015, stainless steel)
