Items in the exhibit will include a variety of Pall’s acquisitions beginning in the mid-1960s when she was a college student and continuing through items picked up on her travels, commissioned works and prints and works in fiber. The exhibit also will feature some autobiographical information about Pall, and her interest in the visual arts.
