The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden has been a leading voice for Contemporary Art and culture since its opening in 1974—providing some of the first exposure to the field for visitors to our nation’s capital. Undiminished by time, the Hirshhorn’s collection has remained continually relevant through its innovative programming. Today the museum embodies the forward-thinking and prescient vision of its founder, Joseph H. Hirshhorn. A Latvian-born immigrant whose family moved to New York when he was eight years old, Hirshhorn started his career on Wall Street before becoming a successful financier and philanthropist. While Hirshhorn’s first purchases were two Dürer etchings, he eventually turned his attention to 19th- and 20th-century American painters, early modernists and Contemporary Art. His generous donations over time of more than 12,000 works to the Museum included permission to deaccession works through the authority of the Board of Trustees; with all proceeds going into acquisition funds for new works of art. Joseph H. Hirshhorn: Collector for a Nation showcases the breadth of Hirshhorn’s expansive collection, including highlights from existential modernist Jan Lebenstein and sculptor Sorel Etrog. The sale promises bold yet accessible examples of 20th century abstraction from Lily Harmon, Jacques Dupont and Jack Leonard Shadbolt, as well as an extensive assortment of sculptures from Chaim Gross, Shay Rieger, Sarah Jackson and others.
