A Tribute to Pauline Gill Sullivan July 20, 2007

This installation celebrates the public and private artistic legacy of Pauline Gill Sullivan. Mrs. Sullivan transformed the Museum's American collections, donating outstanding works of 18th and 19th-century painting, including masterworks by Charles Willson Peale, Ralph Earl, Severin Roesen, and Thomas Sully. These works from the Museum's permanent collection are brought together with Pauline Gill Sullivan's distinctive personal holdings, containing rarely seen masterpieces of European and American painting, including impressionist works by Mary Cassatt, Alfred Sisley, Edouard Manet, and Camille Pissarro.
