The Corcoran Gallery of Art, founded in Washington, D.C., in 1869, was the first institution in the United States created specifically as an art museum. After the museum closed in 2014, the National Gallery of Art took responsibility for the collection, acquiring over 9,000 of its works. This beautifully illustrated volume examines the collection's legacy and its impact.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art was the first institution in the United States created specifically as an art museum. Founded in Washington, D.C., in 1869, the Corcoran remained a vital part of the city for nearly 150 years. After the museum closed in 2014, the National Gallery of Art took responsibility for the collection, acquiring over 9,000 of its works. Ranging from antiquities to contemporary works, the broad range of European and American paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, prints, drawings, and photographs in the Corcoran Collection has immeasurably enriched the National Gallery’s holdings. This beautifully illustrated volume is the first to examine the legacy of the collection and its impact on the study and appreciation of art in the United States.
