SAN MARINO, Calif.—The international exhibition “Beauty and Power: Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes from the Peter Marino Collection” opens at the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens on Oct. 9, 2010, and runs through Jan. 24, 2011. A rare look at 28 exceptional bronze statuettes from the private collection of New York architect Peter Marino—most of which have never before been on public view—the presentation at The Huntington is enriched with objects from its permanent collections.
The Huntington is the first U.S. venue for “Beauty and Power,” which debuted at the Wallace Collection, London, in spring 2010, and travels to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in early 2011. The exhibition focuses on masterpieces made from the mid-16th to the mid-18th century in Italy, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. It is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog by Jeremy Warren, reflecting new research on the works. Warren is curator of the exhibition and collections and academic director of the Wallace Collection. More about the exhibition >
