Drawn to Greatness: Master Drawings from the Thaw Collection by Pierpont Morgan

About the Item

Drawn to Greatness: Master Drawings from the Thaw Collection by Pierpont Morgan Library, Colin B Bailey and Richard R Brettell. Publisher Morgan Library & Museum. 1st Ed exhibition hardcover. The promise that Eugene and Clare Thaw made in 1975 to donate their entire collection of master drawings to the Morgan Library & Museum was fulfilled with the opening of Drawn to Greatness: Master Drawings from the Thaw Collection (28 September 2017–7 January 2018). One of the finest private collections of drawings in the world, the Thaw Collection now numbers over four hundred sheets, which together encompass virtually the whole of Western art. Some 175 drawings from the Renaissance to the modern era—from critical movements in the history of the medium—was mounted in the two-gallery exhibition to celebrate the most transformative gift in the history of the Morgan’s Department of Drawings and Prints. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
