Synopsis

The exhibition Lessing J. Rosenwald: Tribute to a Collector honors one of the Founding Benefactors of the National Gallery of Art and the Gallery's foremost donor of prints and drawings. The Rosenwald Collection, encompassing works of graphic art from medieval times to the present, is the finest of its kind ever to be formed in the United States by a single individual. Rosenwald's discrimination as a collector is acknowledged throughout the world, and his perceptiveness and generosity have placed the Graphic Arts Department at the National Gallery among the most respected in the country.
