"Gerome and Goupil: Art and Enterprise"
2001-02-06 until 2001-05-05
Dahesh Museum of Art
New York, NY, USA United States of America

This international loan exhibition, organized with the Musée Goupil, Bordeaux, and the Frick Art and Historical Center, Pittsburg, will feature over 20 paintings by one of Frances greatest academic masters, Jean-Leon Gerome, and the remarkable and diverse prints made after them by his dealer and printmaker, Goupil et Cie.

The widespread dissemination of Goupils prints made Gérôme into a national celebrity, blurring-- long before Andy Warhol-- the lines between high art and popular culture. Accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by leading French and American scholars in the field, including Dahesh Museum of Art curator Stephen Edidin, this landmark exhibition will offer insights into the birth of the modern business of art.
