The AWE Collection mainly concentrates on art of the modern era—the late 18th to 20th centuries. To offer a context for many of those works, however, AWE has collected works from before and after this time. Identifying the earliest one is not simple because some older artworks are not dated precisely.  Among these is an embroidered English tapestry estimated to be from the 1600s and Joos de Momper’s Village on a River—Treviso, estimated to have been created before the 1600s. These objects are believed to be among the Gallery’s oldest holdings.
