World Masterpieces of Livre d’Artistes
Moscow Museum of Modern Art
February 16 – March 21 2010
The Moscow Museum of Modern Art opens the first show of the “World Masterpieces of Livre d’Artistes” exhibition program. Classic examples of the livre d’artiste are almost not represented even in the largest Russian museums. However, this synthetic form of art is one of the links connecting visual art and literature, artists, publishers, and writers from all over the world.

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art announced a cumulative gift of 400 works of art from 75 patrons, given in commemoration of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art’s 75th Anniversary. The hundreds of masterworks span cultures, chronologies and media and include one of the most important private collections of Impressionist art in the United States. These extraordinary gifts—which also honor Director/CEO Marc F. Wilson’s 28-year tenure—include masterworks by Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Van Gogh and Cezanne.
