Thannhauser Collection Travels from New York to Bilbao with Van Gogh and Picasso

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao will host an exhibition featuring about fifty works by Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early modern masters, including Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh, all from the Thannhauser Collection. This marks the first time a significant portion of this renowned collection has been shown outside New York since it arrived at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation over fifty years ago. In 1963, German art dealer Justin K. Thannhauser announced the bequest of his private collection to the Guggenheim New York, covering 100 years of art history. His widow, Hilde Thannhauser, later added further donations in 1984 and 1991. The exhibition also includes archival material such as catalogs and historical photographs, documenting the Thannhauser family's engagement with artists, collectors, and dealers of the pioneering era. The show runs from September 21, 2018, to March 24, 2019.
