Soviet-born artist Jules Olitski was a leading figure of American abstract painting in the second half of the 20th century. He was also a longtime friend of museum benefactors Arthur and Marny Solomon. Join exhibition curator Marina Kliger for a focused look at Olitski’s work and correspondence with the Solomons on display in the exhibition The Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond (May 24–August 17, 2025).
The Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond celebrates a significant recent bequest to the Harvard Art Museums from passionate collectors Arthur K. and Mariot F. Solomon. The exhibition spotlights over 135 works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints by some of the most significant artists from the Renaissance to the 20th century, and offers visitors an intimate view into the highly personal yet inherently collaborative nature of art collecting.
Led by:
Marina Kliger, Rousseau Curatorial Fellow in European Art, Division of European and American Art
