Often called the father of video art, Nam June Paik created Leonardo da Vinci, an amalgamation of technology and found objects, which will be on view in Layered Looking: Making Sense of Art after undergoing significant restoration.

Join the exhibition’s curator and members of Reynolda’s collections team to learn about the process of bringing this artwork back to life.

Leonardo da Vinci is the largest three-dimensional work in Reynolda’s collection and the only one to incorporate video,” said Collections Manager Katie Womack. “It speaks of the enduring impact of immigrant artists like Paik and the timeless dialogue between artistic imagination and technological discovery.”
