Expanding the Boundaries: Selected Drawings from the Yvonne and Gabriel P. Weisberg Collection

Cargill Gallery 103
Free Exhibition

Minneapolis collectors Gabe and Yvonne Weisberg have collected drawings for more than 30 years. This exhibition will include nearly 50 drawings, watercolors, and pastels from their collection. The collection focuses on realist and naturalist artists working in France and Belgium in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of these artists are unknown to present-day museum visitors; thus, the exhibition will introduce them to the excellent work of Adolphe Appian, François Bonvin, Edgar Chahine, Louis Weldon Hawkins, Auguste Lepère, Léon Lhermitte, Charles Milcendeau, and Thèodule Ribot.

A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition.

The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue were made possible with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Exhibitions Endowment Fund.
