Exhibit Lenders - Haggerty Museum of Art



	Lenders to the Exhibition:
	Prominent among the loans to the exhibition are works from institutions which received donations from the philanthropist Samuel H. Kress through the Foundation established in his name. Under the direction of Kress’s brother Rush H. Kress, thousands of works of European art were given to museums, universities and other institutions across the United States from the 1930s through the 1960s. The Kress donation represents the single most important gift of art in the nation’s history, a gift which enabled smaller institutions across the United States to receive important works of art and to display these for the public. The institutions with Kress Collection holdings featured in this exhibition include the David and Alfred Smart Museum of Art, Elvehjem Museum of Art, the Bucknell University Art Gallery, New Orleans Museum of Art and the Museum of Art and Archeology at the University of Missouri, Columbia. These museums have been most generous in providing works from their collections. The Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation under the directorship of James Clifton has also contributed to this exhibition with the loan of four paintings from the collection amassed by the late Sarah Campbell Blaffer of Texas whose love for art inspired her to make masterworks available to a broad audience. Other lenders to the exhibition include the Jesuit institutions: McMullen Museum of Art, Boston College, and the Martin D’Arcy Museum of Loyola University in Chicago. Public museums lending to the exhibition include: Grand Rapids Art Museum, Milwaukee Art Museum, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. Other university museum lenders include Bucknell University Art Gallery, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania; The Elvehjem Museum of the University of Wisconsin, Madison; La Salle University Art Museum, Philadelphia; Museum of Art and Archeology of the University of Columbia-Missouri; Palmer Museum of Art, Pennsylvania State University; The David and Alfred Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago; and The Snite Museum of Art, University of Notre Dame.
