About This Item

Gibson Bros., Washington, DC: ., 1903 pp. 161, [2] + [23] leaves of plates, illustrations, plans, portraits, etc. 8vo. 230 mm. Original cloth backed red wraps. XLib. Very Good. The Corcoran Gallery of Art was a great art museum in DC. Prior to its closing in 2014, it was one of the oldest privately supported cultural institutions in the United States capital. The museum's main focus was American art. After decades of financial problems, the Corcoran entered into an agreement with the National Gallery of Art (NGA) and the George Washington University whereby almost all of the gallery's 17,000 work collection was placed under the care of the NGA, while the school and historic 17th street gallery building continued operations as a part of the George Washington University's new Corcoran School of the Arts and Design. ART 2 YORK HS. Soft cover.
