More than 250 guests enjoyed the opening receptions for the Bruce Museum's new exhibition Drawings by Rembrandt, his Students and Circle from the Maida and George Abrams Collection, presenting highlights from one of the finest private collections of Dutch drawings in the world, assembled over five decades by George and Maida Abrams. This show features ten works by Rembrandt as well as nearly fifty drawings by his pupils and followers, including sheets never before exhibited or published. This marks the first time that any paintings or drawings by Rembrandt have ever been exhibited at the Bruce Museum. The elegant reception for Committee of Honor members, lenders, sponsors and Museum patrons was sponsored by TEFAF. The exhibition Drawings by Rembrandt, his Students and Circle from the Maida and George Abrams Collection is underwritten by Viacom, J.P. Morgan, David T. Langrock Foundation, The Netherland-America Foundation, The Charles M. and Deborah G. Royce Exhibition Fund, The Seiden-Luke Fund for Exhibitions and Publications, Winged Keel Group, and a Committee of Honor co-chaired by Marei von Saher and Michel Witmer.
