AVV 10-9 #715038

NEW HAVEN, CONN. — The Yale University Art Gallery presents “Art for Yale: Collecting for a New Century,” through January 13 on the first and fourth floors.

This exhibition showcases more than 300 works of art drawn from each of the gallery’s curatorial departments — American paintings and sculpture, American decorative arts, African art, Asian art, early European art, ancient art and art of the ancient Americas, coins and medals, modern and contemporary art, and prints, drawings, and photographs.

Included are recent acquisitions by major artists never before on public view. “Art for Yale: Collecting for a New Century” serves as a sequel to the acclaimed 2001 exhibition, “Art for Yale: Defining Moments” which charted the gallery’s evolution from its beginnings as a picture gallery housing John Trumbull’s collection to a dynamic, multifaceted institution that has continued to inspire students, scholars and the public for generations.

Yale University Art Gallery is at the corner of Chapel and York Streets. For information, www.artgallery.yale.edu or 203-432-0600.
