Sculpture
Harriet Whitney Frishmuth's early 20th century sculptures combined a classical style with a modern idealized form that presaged the Art Deco movement. This collection includes many of her most popular and rarest works (I believe it is the second finest collection in private hands), as well as some pieces by James Earle Fraser, Demeter Chiparus, Augustus Saint-Gaudens and several others of similar style.
