The museum is looking to place our mural by Stefan Knapp (see above photo, right) on a building large enough to display this famous mural which originally was on the side of Alexander's building on Route4 in Paramus. We are looking at potential buildings within the new Dream Mall that is coming soon to the Meadowlands.This mural was highlighted in a recent issue of New Jersey magazine and is valued at over $1,000,000. The mural was highlighted recently in the Bergen Record and again in 201 Magazine
Real estate developers or building owners in Bergen Country or North
Jersey that are interested in presenting modern and classical art
and cultural ideas to the community and could benefit by having such
a masterpiece as a visual 'advertisement', please contact Dr. James
Waldron .
Apart from exhibiting paintings and sculptures, we plan to have
student art classes, summer art camp, science & math camp, chess
classes, etc,. We will also showcase our Mastodon collection and our
large collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures.
We now have a new Board of Directors including a new President and
Chairman of the Board, Dr. James Waldron. As stated previously, we
are currently looking to expand our Board of Directors and are
seeking highly qualified candidates to fulfill some of our vacant
positions, including a new curator. We recently added, Anne Marie
Ayala-secretary, Magdalena Nemesh-Art Director/Curator. Marc
Hajjar-Art Historian and Lisa Feorenzo-Marketing and Public
Relations to our board.

Road Runner
Renowned
sculptor, Jim Gary, has lived and worked in New Jersey all of
his life. He grew up in Colts Neck and has always remained based in
central Jersey -- but the world became his market. Part of the
Bergen Museum collection included Mr. Gary's sculpture “road
runner”. His work is represented in the collections of many
corporate, institutional, and private collections.
Jim Gary has been featured on a myriad of domestic television
programs -- by Walter Cronkite, Public Broadcasting, Christopher
Reeves, the California Academy of Sciences, and many others.
Jim Gary is the recipient of numerous awards, including the N.J.
Governor's "Pioneer Award" and the New Jersey Educators Association
"Art Educator of the Year" on two different occasions.
What makes this dynamic artist so different? For one thing, he's a
"self made" artist who overcame his early indifference to education.
He shares with others his experiences on the journey from street
artist to world class traveling museum exhibitor. He challenges his
audience to 'see' things differently, to think and use the
imagination and most importantly perseverance. For more information,
visit his official web site:

Stefan Knapp is best known for his vibrant enamel murals
which can be seen in a large number of museums and public
buildings throughout the world. The Bergen Museum plans to display
his work soon in Bergen County. Stefan Knapp was a 20th century artist with great vision, a keen sense of color and design, and an innovator driven with boundless energy. He broke traditional boundaries and took the medium of enameling on metal to places it had never been before, and to some extent, since. His enameled mural (above) for Alexander's Department store in Paramus, New Jersey was considered the world's largest painting in 1960. Imagine an enamel mural 200 feel long and 50 feel high! Few artists have impacted the medium of enameling on metal as Stefan Knapp did. |
