Description: "Modern Masters: Manet to Matisse, originally selected for two showings in Australia, was made possible by the generous support of Alcoa Foundation. The exhibition was presented in Sydney and Melbourne under the auspices of The Museum of Modern Art's International Council and with the assistance of the Australia Council and a special indemnity for insurance voted by the Commonwealth of Australia. Last spring, during the two four-week showings in Sydney and Melbourne, the exhibition was seen by more than 400,000 visitors. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the continent's largest daily newspaper, Modern Masters "is quite simply, the most important exhibition ever to visit Australia.... Profound thanks." -- Excerpt from Press Release (see link).
