The Morgan Library & Museum announced today that noted collector and trustee Eugene V. Thaw and his wife, Clare, have given the institution an extraordinary selection of fourteen master drawings, including works by Rembrandt, Turner, Delacroix, van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, and Pollock.

The drawings are part of a larger collection of almost four hundred works on paper formed by the Thaws over the past five decades and promised to the Morgan. The group of fourteen drawings constitutes the largest and most significant gift from the Thaws to date and is also the largest gift of artwork in the Morgan’s history, after those of the founders, Pierpont Morgan and J.P. Morgan, Jr.
