More largess for National Gallery
Three works by modern masters Willem de Kooning, Agnes Martin and Roy Lichtenstein are the latest in a series of gifts from Jane and Robert Meyerhoff that have transformed the National Gallery of Art’s postwar art collection.
They bring to 49 the number of works given to the Washington museum by the Meyerhoffs, who live in the Baltimore area.
Their latest gifts are Lichtenstein’s “Girl with Beach Ball III,” a 1977 homage to Picasso and 1930s surrealism; Martin’s “Field #2,” a 1963 classic grid painting, and de Kooning’s “Two Women” from 1952, an experimental and exploratory charcoal of one of his most prevalent subjects.
