The Lawrence Gussman Collection of Central
African Art
The Neuberger Museum of Art, The National Museum of African
Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, and the Israel
Museum in Jerusalem were recent recipients of outstanding Central
African art from the collection of Lawrence Gussman. Seventy-five
works drawn from the three museums' collections will travel to
Jerusalem, Purchase, NY, Washington, DC, and Tulsa, Oklahoma in
2001-2002. Following the tour, the Neuberger's holdings from the
Gussman gift will be integrated into the Neuberger's existing
collection of African Art as part of a planned major reinstallation of
its permanent collection.
An illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition, which includes
an essay by Christa Clarke, Ph.D., Neuberger Museum of Art
Curator of African Art.
