"Byzantine Fresco Chapel, Montrose. The history of the Byzantine Fresco Chapel began with thievery. Looters removed fragile frescoes from a small chapel outside the Cypriot village of Lysi, and a dealer tried to sell them under the guise of representing a private collector. Suspicious, Dominque de Menil and her colleagues rescued the frescoes and began a search for the true owners, The Church of Cyprus. The frescoes were restored and given a long-term loan agreement with the Menil Collection. A building was constructed with great care to honor and house them, and that's where they resided until they were returned. The chapel did not sit bare for long. It has been given new life with site specific installations. Currently on view: The Fabiola Project by Francis Alÿs"
