Curatorial Tour: Far and Away: Drawings from the Clement C. Moore Collection

The Americas Chapter is delighted to invite you to

a curatorial tour of

Far and Away: Drawings from the Clement C. Moore Collection

with Sarah W. Mallory, The Morgan Library & Museum

Wednesday, September 11 at 11:00am

The drawings that constitute the promised gift of Clement C. and Elizabeth Y. Moore represent an expansive collection that ranges well beyond the lowlands of Holland. Although known as one of the preeminent collections of Dutch drawings in private hands, the display, which includes sheets by Dutch artists active in Italy, as well as  artists influenced by Dutch art such as Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable, exemplifies an approach to collecting beyond strict national boundaries.

Sarah W. Mallory is the Annette and Oscar de la Renta Assistant Curator of Drawings and Prints at The Morgan Library & Museum. She is completing her PhD from Harvard University where her dissertation examines the environmental context of Dutch landscapes of the seventeenth century. She was previously the Predoctoral Research Fellow at The Morgan’s Drawing Institute.
