A collection of modern drawings that the head of London’s Courtauld Gallery says push the boundaries of what the art form can be has been gifted to the gallery.
It said the set of 25 works by artists including Cézanne, Kandinsky and Klee was one of the most significant gifts of art it had received in a generation. They were assembled by the collector Howard Karshan, who died in 2017, and presented in his memory by his wife, Linda, an artist herself.
Ernst Vegelin van Claerbergen, the head of the gallery, said the gift was “important beyond its size” because of the gaps it filled and the nature of the works. The gallery has one of the nation’s great drawing collections, with 7,000 works by artists including Leonardo, Rembrandt and Rubens.
