A Very Private Collection: Janice H. Levin's Impressionist Pictures
November 19, 2002–February 9, 2003
Robert Lehman Wing
This intimate exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to see some 35 Impressionist works that graced the Fifth Avenue apartment of Janice H. Levin. Highlights include Claude Monet’s views of his garden at Argenteuil and of the cliffs at Pourville; pastels and sculpture by Edgar Degas; lush landscapes by Pierre Bonnard, Eugène Boudin, Berthe
Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec; and interiors by Morisot and Édouard Vuillard. This exhibition reveals the distinctly personal character of a collection lovingly acquired for a private home. Levin (1913–2001) was an Honorary Trustee of The Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1993 until her death.
