ProvenanceA. E. Gallatin, New York, acquired by February 1935 (possibly summer 1934), probably from a Paris gallery [1]; bequest to PMA, 1952. 1. Gail Stavitsky suggests that Gallatin may have purchased it from Galerie Jeanne Bucher, Galerie Pierre, or Galerie Pierre Colle (see The Development, Institutionalization, and Impact of the A.E. Gallatin Collection of Modern Art, [Ph.D. dissertation, New York University], 1990, v. 7, p. 89, and v. 1, p. 263).* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |
