A Tribute to Pauline Gill Sullivan

Start date: Sunday, May 27, 2007
Event is ongoing: Until Saturday, September 15, 2007

This installation celebrates the public and private artistic legacy of Pauline Gill Sullivan (1918–2006), a longtime community benefactor and a Museum trustee for thirty years.

One of the first contributors to the campaign to move the Museum to downtown Dallas from Fair Park, Mrs. Sullivan transformed the Museum’s American collections, donating outstanding works of 18th- and 19th-century painting, including masterworks by Charles Willson Peale, Ralph Earl, Severin Roesen, and Thomas Sully. These works from the Museum’s permanent collection are brought together with Pauline Gill Sullivan’s distinctive personal holdings, now on long-term loan to the Museum, containing rarely seen masterpieces of European and American painting, including impressionist works by Mary Cassatt, Alfred Sisley, Eduard Manet, and Camille Pissarro.
