The Morgan Library And Museum Fig. 1: John James Audubon (French-American, 1785–1851) Cat Squirrel, preparatory study for plate 17 of The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America (1845–48). Watercolor and pencil, 36¾ x 24¼ inches. Signed and dated, New York Decr 9th 1841/ J. J. A. Purchased by Pierpont Morgan with the Irwin collection, 1900. Along with being one of the foremost financiers in history, Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) was an avid art collector and generous cultural benefactor. In the early-nineteenth century Morgan began amassing a collection of important manuscripts, early printed books, and Old Master works on paper. A New York City resident at the time, Morgan decided to have a private library built to house his notable acquisitions. With Charles McKim (1847–1909) of the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White at the helm, a grand, three-room Italian-Renaissance-style palazzo masterpiece was constructed between 1902 and 1906. Situated next to Morgan’s Madison Avenue home, the library was turned into a public institution in 1924 by Morgan’s son, banker, and philanthropist, J. P. Morgan (1867–1943). Over the years the Morgan has continually expanded both its holdings and its physical space. Significant purchases and generous gifts have given way to an admirably varied collection of rare materials, Americana, and twentieth-century works. In 1928 the Annex building was erected, replacing Morgan’s residence and connecting to the McKim library by means of a gallery. Sixty years later, J. P. Morgan’s mid-nineteenth-century brownstone was added to the complex and, in 1991, a garden court was constructed to tie the Morgan campus together. 2006 brought the largest expansion in the Morgan’s history, adding 75,000-square feet and increasing the exhibition space by more than fifty percent. Built by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, a performance hall, a Madison Avenue entrance, a reading room, collection storage, and various other amenities were included in the project. Fig. 2: The Evangelist Luke, Gospel Book, in Latin, France, Reims, ca. 860. 12 x 10¼ inches. Purchased by J. P. Morgan, Jr., 1927, MS M.728 (fol. 94v). Beginning in 2010, the iconic McKim library underwent extensive restoration and an expansion. The library, consisting of the East Room, the West Room, the North Room, and the Rotunda, reopened on October 30, 2010 to much anticipation. The library, considered to be one of New York’s greatest architectural treasures, holds medieval pieces, rare books, the Americana collection, a decorative ceiling by muralist Henry Siddons Mowbray (1858-1928), sixteenth-century tapestries, and copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Star-Spangled Banner, among a sea of other incomparable works. The Morgan’s museum collection is divided into eight main categories. In 1909 Morgan established the core of the drawings and prints collection when he purchased approximately 1,500 Old Master drawings from English artist-collector Charles Fairfax Murray. With nearly 12,000 pieces spanning from the fourteenth to the twenty-first century, the drawings and prints holdings include works by Michelangelo, Paul Cézanne, Sir Anthony Van Dyck, and John James Audubon (Fig. 1), as well as the largest collection of Rembrandt etchings in the United States. The paintings and art objects collection consists of works mostly acquired by Pierpont Morgan. However, the selection on view represents a fraction of Morgan’s original holdings as thousands of works were given away upon his death, mainly to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Wadsworth Atheneum. What remains is a well-honed group of many of Morgan’s favorite acquisitions, spanning from the early Mesopotamian and Egyptian periods through Greco-Roman culture, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. With the Medieval pieces at the core, there are also Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces, miniatures on ivory, and Qing porcelain.
