Attend “The Making of Americans” Public Presentation by Gertrude Stein at Ashkal Alwan.

The Stein collection was the earliest collection of modern art that exhibited works of Cezanne, Matisse, and Picasso together (1905). It influenced American collections of modern European art of the first half of the 20th century, the Arensberg Collection, Societe Anonyme, the Barnes Collection, the Cone Sisters Collection, etc. It is through these collections that modern art in America was being perceived and interpreted in a more avant-garde manner than in Europe itself.
