How major collections are shaped by the relationship between museums and donors
In short: This workshop explores the intricate connection between institutions and private collectors. Standing within the galleries of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, curators examine how specific acquisitions define a museum's legacy.
The session features Katharine Baetjer, a curator from the Department of European Paintings, discussing the Jack and Belle Linsky Collection. Co-hosted by The Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting in America and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this occasion highlights pieces obtained throughout Philippe de Montebello's tenure. By examining these pieces in situ, curators analyze the vital, ongoing dialogue between museums and the donors who build their collections.
