In the century since its founding as a public institution, the Morgan’s collections have grown dramatically, deepening the core assembled by J. Pierpont Morgan and his librarian, Belle da Costa Greene, who became the first Director of the institution. This growth is made possible through the support of members and donors who expand and enrich the historical, artistic, and literary contexts of the Morgan’s holdings.

This exhibition commemorates a notable selection of purchases, gifts, and promised gifts ranging from the Middle Ages to the present made in honor of the Morgan’s Centennial.  It will include a recent gift from the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation.

Echoing the dizzying experience of the Mediterranean sun, the mistral, the waves and the sea spray, but also the immensity of the sky and the marine depths of the island of Porquerolles, the VERTIGO exhibition explores in a unique way the links between the perception of natural phenomena and abstraction since the 1950s.

The Foundation’s loan of Petroglyphs, 1990 will be included in this exhibition.
