A Passion for British Art

Here's an exhibition which will be of interest on both sides of the Atlantic: Paul Mellon's Legacy: A Passion for British Art recently opened at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut, which "houses the largest and most comprehensive collection of British art outside the United Kingdom". The exhibition continues at Yale until 29 July, when 150 of the greatest masterpieces in the collection will travel to London's Royal Academy of Arts for a major exhibition from 20 October 2007 until 27 January 2008. "This will be the first and only time that certain important works ... will ever leave the Center." Click the title link for details.
