A Collector’s Gift: Works by Walter Shirlaw and J. Frank Currier
-
In June 2009, an Indiana man who had a quality museum experience at the MMA, gifted to the Museum a substantial group of more than 80 paintings and works on paper by American artists Walter Shirlaw and J. Frank Currier. The Indiana collector, who wishes to remain anonymous, had for several years researched the work of Shirlaw (1836-1909) and Currier (1843-1909), two Munich School painters. In the 1870s and 1880s, Munich rivaled Paris as a major training ground for aspiring American artists. Shirlaw and Currier were among the principle Americans who studied at the Royal Academy of Art in the Bavarian capital during this period. 'A Collector’s Gift' showcases a select group of works from this remarkable donation. With subjects ranging from landscape and genre to still life and portraiture, this gift demonstrates the potential for building the MMA collections in time for the Museum's 100th anniversary in 2012.
At Muskegon Museum of Art, Muskegon, MI
Wed 8/4 at 10am-4:30pm.
