TSU Murals By Harvey Johnson That Were Painted Out Similar To Work At Fair Park- See Video

Posted on January 27, 2011 by Scott M. Haskins

Cleaning off the overpaint from murals that have been painted out is tricky… but we do it. Next week I’ll be in Houston, Texas visiting Texas Southern University (TSU) to survey, inspect and inventory 168 murals! And while there, I’ll evaluate the Harvey Johnson murals that were painted out to propose their restoration. This work is simliar to a monumental project we did at Fair Park, Dallas, Texas… that turned out great! Here’s a quick video:

TSU Murals – Consultation and Survey

Painted out Harvey Johnson Mural

This mural by Harvey Johnson was recently painted out.

Texas Southern University (TSU) has contracted with Scott Haskins and FACL, Inc. to do a survey of the 168 murals on campus. Even without really getting into the project, there has already been significant progress by TSU admin. by turning the care of the murals over to the art museum and counting the murals as part of the art collection. Previously they were just ignored, mostly cared for by facilities.

We’re in the planning stages right now with Monica Vidal, the TSU Art Museum’s new Registrar, to design the survey and software for the inventory.
