Museums in NY & LA to Receive Collection of 63 Modern Works Including Van Gogh & Manet
Rana Atef The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is set to receive its very first paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Édouard Manet. It would be part of a transformative public gift from the prestigious Pearlman Foundation. The donation also includes works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Alfred Sisley, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, and Maurice Brazil Prendergast. The Pearlman Foundation, which holds one of the most significant private collections of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Modernist art, is dividing its treasures among three major U.S. institutions: LACMA, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and the Brooklyn Museum. Though each museum will own select works, they've committed to a sharing model, allowing the pieces to travel among the institutions when not on display. 'This doesn't belong to us, it belongs to the public — we're caretakers of it,' said Daniel Edelman, president of the Pearlman Foundation and grandson of collectors Henry and Rose Pearlman, who began amassing the collection in the mid-1940s. To mark the transition, LACMA will host a major exhibition from February to July 2026 titled 'Village Square: Gifts of Modern Art from the Pearlman Collection to the Brooklyn Museum, LACMA, and MoMA.' The show will present the entire collection before the works are distributed across the three museums. The Brooklyn Museum will receive 29 works with a special focus on Pearlman's Brooklyn roots and his mission to democratize access to art. MoMA, known for its authority in drawings and prints, will receive 28 works, with emphasis on Paul Cézanne. LACMA's portion includes key pieces like Van Gogh's and Manet's, as well as several others from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Van Gogh and Manet paintings among gifts to LACMA from Pearlman Collection
Los Angeles County Museum of Art is being gifted its first paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Édouard Manet, in addition to four works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Alfred Sisley, Wilhelm Lehmbruck and Maurice Brazil Prendergast. The artwork comes from the Pearlman Foundation, which is dividing up its collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Modernist art — one of the most important private collections on record — between LACMA, New York's Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Museum. While each museum will have ownership of a portion of the collection, the institutions will share the artwork whenever their pieces are not on view, said LACMA director and chief executive Michael Govan. 'We inherited a responsibility, not a collection,' said Daniel Edelman, president of the foundation and grandson of Henry and Rose Pearlman, who amassed the works beginning in the mid-1940s. 'This doesn't belong to us, it belongs to the public — we're caretakers of it.' After taking the lead at the foundation more than a decade ago, Edelman, with this public-spirited mission in mind, began traveling the world to meet with as many museum directors as possible in order to better understand what might be possible in terms of gifting the collection. Since the mid-1970s, the Pearlman Collection has been on loan to the Princeton University Art Museum. In the past years, as the value of the art rose exponentially, so did the insurance and transportation costs, Edelman said. This made loaning the work out to a variety of institutions increasingly difficult. Govan's commitment to fostering satellite locations around Los Angeles, including in South L.A., was one of the reasons LACMA ended up with a gift, Edelman said. 'We think fundamentally, these three museums not only have the resources, but also have the innovative creativity to solve those problems and to continue getting these works out to new audiences and more diverse audiences,' said Edelman, adding that LACMA, Brooklyn Museum and MoMA, 'have worked to engage young people, people without artistic backgrounds and people who come to the art in the same way that that Henry and Rose did, which is without the art history education, but just from a love for the work.' Henry Pearlman was born in Brooklyn in 1895 and made his fortune in cold storage and refrigeration. He was an avid art collector who began acquiring Modernist works of art with the purchase of a Soutine landscape. Neither he nor his wife had a college education, and their love of art was visceral, Edelman said. Henry 'started collecting through this kind of self-taught journey,' Edelman continued. 'Falling in love first with the image or being provoked by it, and then learning what the context was and who the artists were.' Edelman grew up seeing these masterworks hanging in his grandfather's office. From the very beginning, he said, Henry sought to share his collection and even approached MoMA very early on about the idea. This is part of why the foundation is so committed to this public gift — and to the sharing structure it set up between the institutions. 'I don't want to call it unique, but it's just different enough that I hope people look at that and make sure works don't go into storage, that instead, they stay on exhibition in front of new audiences and alongside different other works,' said Edelman. 'These works need to stay alive in that way.' From February to July 2026, an exhibition titled 'Village Square: Gifts of Modern Art from the Pearlman Collection to the Brooklyn Museum, LACMA, and MoMA' will be on view at LACMA. The show will feature the entirety of the collection before it is dispersed to its various new homes, including dozens of pieces by Paul Cézanne and work by Van Gogh, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Amedeo Modigliani, Paul Gauguin, Chaïm Soutine and other Modernist masters. After that, the Brooklyn Museum will receive 29 works from the Pearlman Collection, with a focus on art that helps tell the story of Pearlman's time in that borough and his commitment to bringing art to diverse communities. MoMA — known for its world-class department of drawings and prints — will be gifted 28 works, with a focus on Cézanne. In L.A., art lovers will be thrilled at the arrival of the Van Gogh. The year 1888, when Van Gogh moved to Arles in the South of France, is considered by art historians to be the high point of his life and career. A painting from that year titled 'Tarascon Stagecoach,' which Van Gogh created in anticipation of Gauguin's arrival at the Yellow House, will join LACMA's collection, as will Manet's 'Young Woman in a Round Hat,' which dates to the late 1870s. 'They have been available to the public in touring exhibitions. But to have them so immediately accessible at LACMA is thrilling,' said Govan. 'We have a beautiful Van Gogh drawing, but we don't have a painting, and we don't have a painting by Manet. And those two works in particular just add so much to the visitor experience.' Govan notes that Van Gogh wanted his paintings to be displayed in cafes to make them accessible to the public. That spirit mirrors the foundation's impetus for splitting the Pearlman Collection between three distinct institutions, and Govan said he is excited to eventually put the Van Gogh on display in South L.A. Plans for a museum in South L.A. have come and gone, but LACMA says it remains committed to eventually opening one and is in talks with the county about an outpost at Earvin 'Magic' Johnson Park.

Painting sells for more than £381,000 at auction undefined (Image: SimpleImages via Getty Images ) A "masterful" painting by Scottish Colourist Samuel John Peploe which once hung in his patron's drawing room has sold for more than £381,000 at auction. Roses In A Green Jug went under the hammer in the Scottish art sale at Bonhams in Edinburgh on Wednesday. It sold for £381,400 including buyer's premium, above the estimate of £250,000-£350,000. Paintings by fellow Scottish Colourist Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell and by the late Jack Vettriano also featured in the sale. Peploe once characterised his career as a search for the perfect still life, and was influenced by his time in Paris from 1910-12 where he studied the work of Post-Impressionist masters. Major Ion R Harrison, a Scottish shipping magnate, first encountered Peploe's work at an exhibition in Glasgow in the 1920s and soon became a close friend and patron of the painter and the Scottish Colourists. Article continues below May Matthews, managing director of Bonhams Scotland, said: "Roses in a Green Jug is an exceptional example of the skilfully executed still lives which made Peploe one of the most highly admired of Scottish Colourists. "Having come to auction for the first time with remarkable provenance – having once hung in the drawing room of Croft House, home of noted Scottish Colourist patron Ion R Harrison – it is not surprising this work attracted such interest. "Bonhams had shown a real strength in achieving impressive results for works Sottish Colourists and we are delighted with today's result for Peploe." She said the work takes "inspiration from Paul Cezanne and French Post-Impressionism, while maintaining the artist's distinctive individual style". She added: "Peploe's still lifes were meticulously planned and executed, creating the dialogue between object and space for which he and his fellow Colourists were renowned." Roses In A Green Jug can be seen hanging in the background of Cadell's Portrait Of Mrs Ion R Harrison of 1932. Six works by Vettriano, who died earlier this year, also went under the hammer. Pendine Beach (Study), which was painted in 1996, sold for £44,800, including buyer's premium, above the estimate of £20,000-£30,000. The painting once hung in the late Sir Terence Conran's Bluebird restaurant in London, after he bought the picture in 1996, Bonhams said.
