Between 1960 and 1986, six exhibitions devoted to the Pearlman Foundation collection were held at the Brooklyn Museum. Since 1976, the Pearlman Foundation collection had been on long-term loan to the Princeton University Art Museum in New Jersey. Selections from the foundation\u2019s holdings were the basis of several travelling exhibitions organised by the Princeton museum, including C\u00e9zanne and the Modern: Masterpieces of European Art from the Pearlman Collection<\/a> (2014-16) and Artists in Motion: Modern Masterpieces from the Pearlman Collection<\/a> (2023-24). The foundation has previously donated works to other museums and sold pieces at auction; the 63 works going to the Brooklyn Museum, Lacma and MoMA are the last remaining works in the collection.<\/p>\n \u201cFor years, we have explored every model we could imagine for the future ownership and guardianship of this collection,\u201d Daniel Edelman, the Pearlman Foundation\u2019s president, said in a statement. \u201cWe ultimately chose the Brooklyn Museum for the works that tell Henry\u2019s story of discovery and for its commitment to engaging a diverse community; Lacma for works that specifically enhance their ability to innovate around bringing art to where people are; and MoMA, where C\u00e9zanne\u2019s works on paper will be shared and cared for by one of the finest departments of drawings and prints that we know, as well as a half dozen of his paintings that together support the artist\u2019s foundational role in the story of modern art.\u201d<\/p>\n Vincent van Gogh, Tarascon Stagecoach, 1888 Lacma, promised gift from the Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation, photo by Bruce White<\/p>\n Among the 29 works going to the Brooklyn Museum are a rare limestone sculpture by Modigliani (Head, from around 1910-11) and his 1916 portrait of the author Jean Cocteau. The six works headed to Lacma include Tarascon Stagecoach (1888) by Van Gogh and Young Woman in a Round Hat (around 1877-79) by Manet\u2014neither artist was previously represented in the museum\u2019s collection, plus works by Alfred Sisley, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and others. MoMA will receive two major C\u00e9zanne paintings\u2014Mont Sainte-Victoire (around 1904-06) and Cistern in the Park of Ch\u00e2teau Noir (around 1900)\u2014plus a group of 15 watercolours by the artist.<\/p>\n \u201cHenry Pearlman collected with the public in mind, believing that modern art should inspire audiences of all backgrounds,\u201d Anne Pasternak, the Brooklyn Museum\u2019s director, said in a statement, noting that the foundation\u2019s gift is \u201cthe most significant addition to our European art holdings in nearly a century\u201d. She added: \u201cWe\u2019re honoured to give a group of these masterworks a permanent home in the borough where the Pearlman family grew up. As important, we are excited by the foundation\u2019s strategy of collection sharing with our wonderful peers, MoMA and Lacma.\u201d<\/p>\n The gifted works will form the basis of upcoming exhibitions at all three institutions, with Village Square: Gifts of Modern Art from the Pearlman Collection to the Brooklyn Museum, Lacma and MoMA opening in Los Angeles in February 2026 before travelling to Brooklyn in July 2026. A subsequent MoMA show will also feature works from the Pearlman Collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brooklyn Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Lacma) and Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":120632,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[8390,648,1032,74368,1033,171,74369,74966,10158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-120631","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-acquisitions","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-brooklyn-museum","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-los-angeles-county-museum-of-art","15":"tag-museum-of-modern-art-new-york","16":"tag-museums-heritage","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114975706545376313","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1328358d4bd56484d4e6f5ebd90b6763c84d679c-2000x1540.jpg\"\/)
