From Paris: A Taste for Impressionism, Paintings from the Clark
Opens: 07/07/2012 Closes: 23/09/2012
Royal Academy, London
The Sterling and Francis Clark Art Institute has been the home to one of the world's most impressive painting collections for decades. This year some of its finest works hit the road, a bonus for us as the institute is in Massachusetts. In London as part of the tour are more than 70 Manets, Monets, Renoirs, and other highlights of 19th-century French art.

The Independent“Both an amalgam of artworks and an artwork itself...” Any collection is more than the sum of its parts. Sterling and Francine Clark's is a portrait of the couple themselves, of a moment in the history of taste, and collecting in the history of art...

The Observer“By far the best...” Clark is that rare American collector: independent, retiring, unaffectedly philanthropic, the kind who gives taste a good name...
