Utilizing the gallery’s vast resources, they have raised significant funds and invested great efforts in order to support such iconic art institutions as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum, amongst others. The gallery renewed its charitable partnership with the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum by hosting a silent auction of the etching, “Self Portrait, Drawing at a Window” by Rembrandt Van Rijn, to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the artist’s birth. To coincide with this initiative, Galerie d’Orsay hosted a feature exhibition of one of finest collections of Rembrandt etchings ever to be shown in the United States.
More recently, under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness, Prince Albert II of Monaco, Galerie d’Orsay hosted an exclusive exhibition by Monegasque master artist, Claude Gauthier, to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the revolutionary Ballets Russes. The prestigious honor included the debut of original works by Gauthier, personally chosen by the Principality of Monaco as the official artist to commemorate this significant cultural event. |
