Yale University Art Gallery - June 27, 2010


After we went to the Yale Center for British, we crossed the street and walked into the Yale University Art Gallery.

Yale University had two exhibits going on at the time of our visit. The first one was Italian Paintings from the Richard L. Feigen Collection. This exhibit is running from May 28 - September 12, 2010. This is a very nice exhibit to see. The exhibit had many great paintings and also the paintings were on several different medians.
The second exhibit was Jane Davis Doggett: Talking Graphics. This exhibit is running from January 26 - July 11, 2010. The graphics move by the way they are looked at.

Unfortunately I can not share pictures of the exhibits, because picture taking was not allowed.

Below are some of the pictures that I was able to take.







This was taken in the Asian Art collection

There were many more nice art works to see. I was surprised that art works from the Hudson River School were in storage.

The Yale University Art Gallery had many of the art works in storage during the renovations that are going on. It would be nice to revisit the Art gallery when the construction is complete.
