Overview

  • The Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation has gifted its entire 63-piece Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Modernist collection to LACMA, the Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Museum.
  • Allocations assign 29 works to the Brooklyn Museum, 28 to MoMA and six to LACMA, which will acquire its first-ever Van Gogh and Manet paintings.
  • The foundation established flexible guidelines to enable rotating exhibitions and collaborative loans among the three institutions.
  • “Village Square: Gifts of Modern Art from the Pearlman Collection” will debut at LACMA in February 2026 before traveling to the Brooklyn Museum in July 2026.
  • Soaring insurance and transportation costs made continued long-term loans to Princeton University Art Museum unsustainable, prompting the permanent gift.
