Colloque : « Dutch Drawings on the Horizon: A Day of Talks in Honor of George S. Abrams », Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, 4 novembre 2017

This symposium brings together international experts on 17th-century Dutch drawings in honor of George S. Abrams (Harvard College ’54, Harvard Law ’57). Mr. Abrams and his late wife, Maida, pioneered the collecting of Dutch drawings in the United States and have been a unifying force for study and scholarship in the field. Their generous gift of 110 works in 1999 transformed the Harvard Art Museums’ Dutch drawings collection into one of the most comprehensive in any U.S. museum. Speakers will use the vast breadth and depth of the Abrams Collection as a touchstone for discussing the exceptional draftsmanship of the Dutch Golden Age, from Goltzius to Rembrandt.

The symposium coincides with the installation « The Art of Drawing in the Early Dutch Golden Age, 1590–1630: Selected Works from the Abrams Collection », on view at the Harvard Art Museums from September 9, 2017 to January 14, 2018.
