Bus Tour: Norton Simon Museum of Art
Enjoy a visit to Lock, Stock and Barrel: Norton Simon’s Purchase of Duveen Brothers Gallery at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena.
About the exhibition: Purchasing from Duveen Brothers over several decades, Norton Simon (the collector) eventually purchased the brother's entire gallery. This gallery was one of the largest and most successful intentional art dealers in the 20th Century, and this acquisition represented Simon's desire to build a significant collection of the Old Masters works for which they were known.
The Norton Simon Museum now includes 130 of these works in its collection, only two dozen are regularly on view. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see these not-often-shown works and provides an intriguing, historical take on art restoration and the art market of the time.
