In her capacity as Director of the Harvard Art Museums for the last seven years, Martha Tedeschi has been a great friend and supporter of the collection. To mark her retirement, Merrill presented the Harvard Art Museums with the gift of Vasily Kandinsky’s iconic book Klänge (Sounds) of 1913 “in honor of Martha Tedeschi.” He traveled to Cambridge, MA last week to deliver it in person. Hosted by his longtime friend Lynette Roth, Daimler Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, and Peter Murphy, Stefan Engelhorn Curatorial Fellow, Merrill and our valued team member Robert Gorman toured the galleries, where paintings by Carl Grossberg and Jankel Adler (given respectively in 2019 and 2023) are on view. Merrill was further reunited with some of his works on paper by Grossberg, Gustavs Klutcis, and various Bauhaus artists, which now belong to Harvard where they are actively used in teaching. Bravo to our friends at Harvard, to the marriage of our collections, and to the power of these objects to educate future generations beyond our personal stewardship.
