2021.593 To construct a strainer and spacers as specified in the drawing for Joans painting and 3 more items

The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts awarded contract PO05413121 to B Randolph Wilkinson on July 20, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $725. The contract encompasses the fabrication of specialized conservation materials for four distinct paintings, with all deliverables directed to Meredith Watson. The line items include the construction of a strainer and spacers for Joan's painting ($350), spacers for a Vigée-Lebrun painting ($25), a liner for a Smith painting ($150), and an additional liner ($200).

The contract deliverables are conservation-related services typical of museum operations, involving the construction of structural support components and protective liners according to specified drawings. All work is to be performed and delivered to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The relatively modest cumulative contract value of $725 reflects the specialized, limited-scope nature of these conservation fabrication services, which serve the museum's preservation and restoration functions.
