The Age of Impressionism: European Painting from the Ordrupgaard Collection, Copenhagen
June 18, 2002–September 8, 2002
Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall, 2nd floor
This exhibition presents some 80 superb paintings—by Degas, Gauguin, Monet, Pissarro, and Sisley, as well as several important Danish artists—from the renowned Ordrupgaard Collection, located just outside of Copenhagen. The collection was assembled by Danish insurance magnate Wilhelm Hansen (1868–1936), who in 1918 constructed a country house with a large picture gallery in which to display his French art. When his wife, Henny, died in 1951, she bequeathed the collection—and the home from which it derives its name—to the Danish government.
Accompanied by a catalogue.
The exhibition is made possible in part by the Janice H. Levin Fund.
An indemnity has been granted by the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
