The masterpiece of modernism goes to the pearl gifts MOMA, LACMA, BROOKLYN
Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation will disperse all artworks from all over the world to three museums: the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum.
Of the 63 works in the gift, 29 were headed to the Brooklyn Museum, which will go to MoMA, and 6 will go to Lacma. Gifts are all over modern jewelry: paintings by Paul Cézanne, Amedeo Modigliani, Vincent Van Gogh, Édouard Manet, etc.
Some of these works have been loaned to a long-term loan from the Princeton University Museum of Art in New Jersey. But they have now found a permanent home in these three institutions, which is the top of the country.
“Instead of placing conditions on gifts we cannot know, we have no one knows, we have created a series of guidelines that encourage these three institutions to collaborate on a flexible movement in art. Our aim is to bring these major works to new audiences, even allow us to live in different situations and be seen in different contexts, and to rule in different situations, and to rule in different situations, and to rule in different situations, and to rule in a different effort, and to master a certain effort, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one,” said Daniel Edelman, the founding director of the foundation, Daniel Edelman, in a statement. ” Rather than placing conditions on putting conditions on gifts that we cannot know in one, we have no idea that we have, and to build in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one, and to blend in one,” said Daniel Edelman, the founding director of the foundation, Daniel Edelman, the founding director of the foundation said in a statement. ” Rather, instead, we have no idea that we have conditions for putting in one, we have no idea that we can dominate in one,” Daniel Edelman, the founding president of the foundation said in
The exhibition specifically targeted the series will open at LACMA in July 2026 before heading to the Brooklyn Museum.

Image source: Bruce White/Brooklyn Museum
Given: Brooklyn Museum
Although famous for his images of French bars and nightlife in the late 19th century, Toulouse-Lautrec also made such images, such as this one, which is more quaint than the first ones. This is a deliberate mockery of the work of Puvis de Chavannes, who made a similar painting without a modern man parade on the right.
-
Vincent van Gogh, Taraska Stagkoch1888

Given: LACMA
Now, this work is the only Van Gogh painting in the Lacma series, with the aim of depicting a rapidly growing vehicle in modern France. This work was inspired by a novel from 1872 Tatalin de Tarasconby Alphonse Daudet.
-
Edgar Degas, After taking a shower, the woman drys herself1890s
Image source: Bruce White/Brooklyn Museum
Given: Brooklyn Museum
Degas is known for his paintings by ballerinas, but he also produced images of naked bathers who did not idealize their subjects as many painters before him. It was shown from the back that this bather seemed to cast unnaturally on her bathtub.
-
Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Torso of a young woman1910
Image source: Bruce White/Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Henry and Rose Pearlman
Given: LACMA
Lehmbruck is praised for his twisted way in which his works of twisting their arms, legs and head are stretched. This is the first Lehmbruck sculpture to enter the Lacma series.
-
Chaim Soutine, The road to the fountainabout 1920
Image source: Bruce White/Brooklyn Museum
Given: Brooklyn Museum
Soutine often makes his paint thick and chunky, forming a surface that feels as strong as the material he represents. The painting depicts the French town of Céret, whose corner street may have inspired anomalous works of the work.
-
Amedeo Modigliani, Jean Cocteau1916
Image source: Bruce White/Brooklyn Museum
Given: Brooklyn Museum
Jean Cocteau is a multi-brained modernist whose work itself is a subject of recent review, here the typical Modigliani treatment with a long face and almond shape. “It doesn’t look like me, but it does look like Modigliani, which is better.”
