The Pierre and Maria-Gaetana Matisse Collection from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Matisse, Balthus, Chagall, Dubuffet, Giacometti, Magritte and Miró are some of the icons of twentieth-century art whose works are featured in The Pierre and Maria-Gaetana Matisse Collection from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The paintings, sculptures and drawings that make up this extraordinary group of works have been selected from the collection of the art dealer Pierre Matisse and his wife, Maria-Gaetana von Spreti, part of which was donated to the New York museum in 2002.

For more than sixty years, beginning in 1931, the gallery established by Pierre Matisse (1900-1989) in the Fuller Building, Manhattan, pioneered the advancement of the European avant-garde in the United States, and helped to build the careers in America of such legendary artists as Balthus, Miró, Giacometti and Dubuffet. The exhibitions held at the gallery helped define the American public’s appreciation for contemporary art.
