As some of you know the Boca Raton Museum of Art has the largest Dorothy Gillespie art collection of any museum in the country. The 350 Gillespie signature starbursts donated to the Museum's permanent collection by the Dorothy M. Gillespie Foundation joins seven other Gillespie sculptures and wall pieces in the collection. (See below)
Irvin Lippman, Boca Raton Museum Executive Director has "placed an emphasis on extending art outside of the museum’s walls with an Art in Public Places initiative, which also includes bringing Dorothy Gillespie sculptures to the Boca Raton Innovation Campus"(BRiC).
BRiC is the historic tech landmark where the first IBM Personal Computer was invented. Spanning 1.7 million square feet across 123 acres, the property is the largest office complex in the state.
