	Italian Master Drawings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
		The Philadelphia Museum of Art is fortunate to have a collection of Italian drawings that encompasses a broad sweep of Italy’s art history, ranging from Renaissance and Baroque to Futurist and contemporary works by such famed artists as Parmigianino, Francesco Salviati, Guercino, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Pompeo Batoni, and Amedeo Modigliani.
		In 1978 the Museum received by bequest, from the estate of the eminent art historian Anthony Morris Clark, a group of outstanding drawings, principally from eighteenth-century Rome.
		The international significance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s collection of Italian drawings is borne out by its selection for inclusion in Amilcare Pizzi’s distinguished series I grandi disegni italiani, which has included volumes on the collections of the Uffizi, the Albertina, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, and the Hermitage, among others.

		The new space will also provide a home for the museum’s holdings from India and the Himalayas, including folk arts, decorative and ritual arts of the 17th and 20th centuries, and a collection of paintings and thangkas, or painted or embroidered textiles.

		Special exhibition galleries and American art are to the left; the collection emphasizes that Americans came from diverse cultures, which combined to create a new, distinctly national aesthetic.
		The PMA has brought millions into the economy over the past decade with blockbuster exhibits of works by Picasso, Cézanne, van Gogh, and Degas, plus mounted wonderful fashion exhibits of Schiaparelli.
