Lakeview gallery honors Andrea Gottlieb Vizcarrondo ’72
The lakeview gallery is an iconic space on the Cornell campus, located high above Cayuga’s waters on the 5th floor of the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art. The gallery affords a sweeping view of the Ithaca landscape as it changes over the course of the day and the seasons. Nearly every one of the museum’s more than 60,000 annual visitors stops by the gallery to take in the view and enjoy the art.
“The grand view feels full of possibility. It creates a space for students to take a breath and maybe step away from the intensity of their daily work to connect with art and with nature. It’s a place to connect with themselves and one another,” says Jessica Levin Martinez, the Richard J. Schwartz Director of the Johnson Museum.
Earlier this year, Paul Vizcarrondo ’70, together with the couple’s friends and family, made a gift to the museum to name the Andrea Gottlieb Vizcarrondo 1972 Lakeview Gallery as a lasting legacy to his wife, who passed away in 2023.
