Gordon Wilkins, Robert M. Walker Curator of American Art, presents a virtual tour and discussion of Laying the Foundation: Exploring the Nucleus of the Addison’s Collection, exploring the eclectic mix of works that comprise the Addison’s founding collection, which reflects not just the best of what was available on the market at the time but also the specific tastes and predilections of those who contributed to its creation. This program was organized with Andover’s Memorial Hall Library. (Recorded on July 23, 2024)
