Degas With a Flourish Story aired: Monday, August 01, 2005
When Harvard's Fogg Art Museum mounted an exhibition by the French artist Edgar Degas in 1911, the show consisted of 12 borrowed pieces and was up for fewer than ten days.
Almost a century later, "Degas at Harvard," a new exhibition at Harvard's Sackler Museum, is opening today, for four months. The exhibition encompasses sixty-two works from the university's collections and includes all of the media in which Degas worked.
