This exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, New York (previously on view at San Francisco MOMA and at the Grand Palais, Paris), traces the evolution of the Stein family’s taste and examines the close relationships formed between individual members of the family and their artist friends. While focusing on works by Matisse and Picasso, the exhibition also includes works by Pierre Bonnard, Juan Gris, Marie Laurencin, André Masson, Francis Picabia and others. The painting Hommage à Gertrude Stein by British artist Sir Francis Rose – featured in the final room of the exhibition – has been lent by England & Co.
