by Andreas Narzt and Florence Castellani
Exhibition
Group Exhibition
1960 Philadelphia
Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, Collection of the Rev. and Mrs. Theodore Pitcairn, June 17–September 15, 1960.
For this exhibition, there was no catalogue or official list. The various working lists and the return shipping receipt of the paintings (PMA archives), which sometimes do not have the same number of works, do not permit us to reconstitute this exhibition precisely. The technical details of the works, often wrong and incomplete, are specified in one of the first lists being assembled, which does not yet include all of the exhibited works. The numbers and titles, which we have taken from the exhibition labels, or, if missing, from the return shipping receipt, do not necessarily correspond to the numbers and titles of the exhibition.
