PORTRAIT COLLECTION

We have a collection of about 120 paintings artworks here at MedChi. And I am using the word “about” because I am not actually exactly sure how many pieces of art we have. The number seems to fluctuate a bit.

Some bright thing took all of the plaques and plates off of a number of our pictures, so I spent essentially a year and a half working to figure out which painting was which. I have a huge spreadsheet where I keep track of the paintings, where they are located, and who the artist is. There are multiple colors and notations that help me track the portraits. 

I referred to a catalogue of acquisitions that was created in 1961, in which numbers were assigned to all of the paintings, and also to the 2002 Sotheby’s appraisal of our collection. Regrettably, neither of these documents has images of the portraits.

Because we frequently are asked about the portraits, we have added this section to the blog. Simply click on the name, and you will be taken to a new page with an image of the painting and a brief description of it. Where a name is listed twice, we have two portraits of the person.
