Birthday Presents Acquisitions for the 100th Anniversary of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Harvard University

Founded in 1903, Harvard's Busch-Reisinger Museum is the only museum in America devoted to promoting the appreciation and understanding of the arts of Central and Northern Europe of all periods, with a special emphasis on the German-speaking countries. It has brought to a wider public artists and art movements that have had a major impact on the American scene, notably German expressionism and the Bauhaus. It has also served as a major research and teaching center. In celebrating such pioneering achievements, the editor has chosen to focus on the modern period, matching more or less the museum's 100 years, with major new acquisitions by such artists as Paula Modersohn-Becker, Emil Nolde, Sigmar Polke, and Gunter Umberg.Nisbet, Peter is the author of 'Birthday Presents Acquisitions for the 100th Anniversary of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Harvard University' with ISBN 9781891771378 and ISBN 189177137X.
