Blog by Michael Anderson featuring the James Perry Wilson Biography
"I am to this day, still pondering over the idea that there was something more at work when Wilson painted, that he was searching for something beyond technique and beyond empirical vision of the landscape. I think it’s a subject worthy of more exploration."

In 2018, The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), in partnership with the Yale Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage (IPCH) and UCLA/Getty Master’s Program in the Conservation of Archaeological and Ethnographic Materials (UCLA/Getty), received a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to fund conservation research over a period of three years. This project aims not only to inform the conservation of the bird taxidermy but also to provide recommendations for the larger community of preservation professionals caring for bird feathers in natural history and ethnographic contexts, as well as fashion and fine art collections.
