How museums curate masterpieces through institutional partnerships and donors
In short: Step inside The Met's galleries to witness a scholarly workshop on assembling a collection of European Romantic era paintings, exploring the vital bond between museums and their benefactors.
Gary Tinterow, the Engelhard Curator in Charge of Nineteenth-Century, Modern and Contemporary Art, discusses the acquisition of Théodore Gericault's 'Evening: Landscape with an Aqueduct'.
Held at The Frick Collection's exhibition of pieces bought under Philippe de Montebello's leadership, the programme is hosted by The Met alongside The Center for the History of Collecting in America. Curators examine the essential relationships between art institutions and the donors who make these acquisitions possible.
