About This Project
Summary
We created an interpretation of a digital museum that brings together the Tremaine Collection for the first time. The site unites nearly 700 art pieces collected by Emily Hall Tremaine and Burton G. Tremaine between 1936 and 1984 from visionary artists like Piet Mondrian and Andy Warhol. The interactive archive is presented alongside immersive stories that allow visitors to hear from the artists themselves through audio, letters, and sketches.
Goals & Objectives
The site captures the legacies of Emily Hall Tremaine, a female collector ahead of her time, and Burton G. Tremaine. It illuminates a significant moment: the birth of contemporary art and posits a new kind of digital museum that interweaves artists’ stories and makes archival data more accessible.
Results & Impact
The site has become an invaluable tool for researchers and art enthusiasts. Historic materials such as those found in the Emily Hall Tremaine Papers at the Smithsonian are situated within an art historical context and presented alongside artworks, bringing the stories behind the works to life.
