El Greco comes to America

Description

In 2014, to mark the four-hundredth anniversary of El Greoc's death and the appeal of his art in America, major museums mounted exhibitions of paintings which came to their collections as a result of "Grecomaia", a collecting trend seemingly inspired by Knoedler Gallery's exhibition of the artist's work, in 1904. The Frick Collection's symposium focused on the development of American collectors' taste for El Greco's works.
