In
January, the Yale Center for British Art announced its joint acquisition with
the Yale University Art Gallery of Joscelyn Gardner’s suite of 13 lithographs, Creole Portraits III: “bringing down the
flowers…”. In the Center’s news publication (Jan – April 2014), the
Director, Amy Meyers, states, “The portfolio augments the Center’s rich
holdings relating to the Caribbean and the study of the natural world, and is
our first joint acquisition with the Art Gallery, thanks to the support of our
devoted Friends of British Art.”
Joscelyn
would like to once more thank those at Yale who invited her to speak there in
January 2013 and helped to make this acquisition possible.
