"A Decade of Collecting: Recent Acquisitions"
2000-04-15 until 2000-07-09
Busch-Reisinger Museum, Harvard
Cambridge, MA, USA United States of America

Beginning in March 2000, the Harvard University Art Museums will embark on a year-long, multi-gallery program of exhibitions showcasing recent additions to the collections. From Old Master drawings to the sculpture of Richard Tuttle, these shows will allow visitors the unique opportunity to view a broad spectrum of works of art, and will offer a rare glimpse into the collecting practices of a major teaching and research museum.

The first department featured will be the Asian department, opening at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum on March 11, 2000, followed by the first part of the Prints and Drawings exhibition (1400 through 1945), opening on March 25 at the Fogg Art Museum’s Straus Gallery. The Busch-Reisinger Museum will put its recent acquisitions on display beginning April 15, 2000. Deborah Martin Kao, the newly appointed Richard M. Menschel Curator of Photography, will show her most recent acquisitions in the Fogg’s Lehman Gallery, starting on April 29, and the second half of the Prints and Drawings exhibition (1945 to present) will open in the Sackler Museum’s large exhibition space on June 3, 2000. A few days later, on June 8, 2000, the Islamic and later Indian Department’s recent acquisition exhibition will open at the Sackler Museum. Also planned is an exhibition featuring recent acquisitions made by the newly formed department of Modern and Contemporary Art.
