In a sweeping showcase of modern art, Nassau County Museum of Art presents two exhibitions, Selections from the Saltzman Family Collection and Long Island Collects Modern Art.
The exhibition honors the Museum's Founding President, the late Ambassador Arnold A. Saltzman, who during his life formed one of America's great private collections of early modernist painting and sculpture. The exhibition includes works by well-known modernists such as Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Constantin Brancusi, Edgar Degas, Robert Delaunay, Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger and many others.
THE MODERNS: Long Island Collects Modern Art, organized by guest curator Franklin Hill Perrell, draws together choice examples of 20th-century art from significant Long Island collections. This special presentation embraces a wide range of treasures by pioneering artists of the modernist era, among them Matisse, Monet, Renoir, Dali, Léger, Chagall, Miró, Toulouse-Lautrec and others.
