The Age of Elegance: The Joan Taub Ades Collection
May 13, 2011 - Aug 28, 2011
Over thirty old master drawings by French, Italian, and Northern artists of the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries are featured in this exhibition, with a particular concentration of works by eighteenth-century French draftsmen. Providing visitors with the rare opportunity to see a private collection, the exhibition includes works by Fran莽ois Boucher, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Jean-Francois Millet, Guercino, Francesco Fontebasso, and Francesco Panini.
A generous patron of the arts, music, and dance, Joan Taub Ades began collecting old master drawings nearly a decade ago, selecting works that appealed to her personal taste and piqued her curiosity. A promised gift to the Morgan, the Ades collection adds several sheets by artists previously unrepresented among the museum's holdings, while enriching the number of works by celebrated draftsmen.
