The Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation will split its collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and modern art among the Brooklyn Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Museum of Modern Art. The Brooklyn Museum will receive 29 works, including pieces by Chaïm Soutine and Edgar Degas, while Lacma takes six pieces including Edouard Manet. MoMA will acquire 28 pieces, mostly by Paul Cézanne. The collection originated in 1945, with Henry Pearlman beginning his art acquisitions. The collection has previously been on long-term loan to Princeton University Art Museum and has been a source of multiple exhibitions.
The Pearlman Foundation collection's origins date to 1945, when the Brooklyn-born businessman Henry Pearlman bought a Soutine landscape painting and never looked back.
After Henry died in 1974, Rose took over management of the collection until her own death in 1994.
The 63 works going to the Brooklyn Museum, Lacma and MoMA are the last remaining works in the collection.
For years, we have explored every model we could imagine for the future ownership and guardianship of this collection.
