Spooner houses Union art
Many paintings and etches that had been exhibited throughout the Kansas Union for many years were moved during the April 20 fire to a place of safer storage.
Spooner Hall now houses the works of art in temporary storage.
However, art museum director Bret Waller said, "They are not
being stored under good conditions."
Waller received a call on the night of the fire from Mrs. Katherine Giele, Union Activities, who informed him that the Union was burning and students were moving the art objects out. The students had carried many of them
to a nearby apartment and Waller directed that they be moved to the art museum.
"The students who risked their lives in running into the building and pulling these pieces out without damaging them were remarkable. It's a minor miracle," Waller said.
According to Waller, only one painting was slightly damaged by water, which had turned the varnish white.

Included in the art collection are Piranesi etchings, paintings by John Steuart Curry and a variety of other prints and paintings. Curry's series of oil sketches for the mural in the Kansas State Capitol were among those objects moved.
The collection will be re-exhibited as soon as reconstruction of the Union permits.
The 14 students and two KU staff members, Evelyn Hutchinson and Margaret Peterson, are living in a dormitory at Coffeyville Junior College. Mrs. Carolyn Brose, assistant professor of medical-surgical nursing, is commuting between Coffeyville and Kansas City.
The Coffeyville-Independence area was selected for the course because local physicians and hospital personnel offered to help and because the majority of patients there are from the immediate vicinity. Many patients at KUMC come from communities away from Kansas City and are not within easy access of students trying to make home visits.
