Exhibition

The collection of Dr. Albert C. Barnes (1872–1951) made its US debut at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in the spring of 1923. In his catalogue introduction, Barnes noted the diversity and youth of the artists whose works were on view, all of whom were living at the time with the exception of Modigliani. The artist was represented by seven paintings, four of which are still in the collection of the Barnes Foundation, one of the largest public holdings of Modiglianis in the world today.
