The Desert as Collaborator: The Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum's Next Chapter

After spending nearly 70 years in a private family collection, "Fourth of July" (1957), a striking work from Rita Deanin Abbey's celebrated "Arches National Monument Series," has returned to the Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum in Las Vegas. More than the return of a single artwork, the painting symbolizes a renewed commitment to preserving, sharing and advancing the work of one of Nevada's most accomplished and influential artists.
