The National Gallery of Art has acquired 16 works, including its first by Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, a mid-15th-century group of Nottingham alabasters, a winter scene by Dutch master Jan van Goyen and a 61-minute video homage to New York City.
The spring acquisitions “constitute a broad span of subject matter across a range of mediums, schools and eras,” Gallery Director Earl A. Powell III said in a statement. “We have enhanced our collection of medieval sculpture, enhanced our Dutch collection, and bolstered our collection of 20th- and 21st-century art by living artists.”
