The Katherine S. Dreier Bequest

In 1953 the Guggenheim Foundation received a small but important bequest by one of 20th-century art’s most influential figures, Katherine S. Dreier (1877–1952), who, along with Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, had founded the Société Anonyme. Most important among the 28 works donated by the estate were Brancusi’s Little French Girl (1914–18), an Archipenko bronze (1919), a Calder standing mobile (1935), an untitled Juan Gris still life (1916), and three collages dating from 1919 to 1921 by the German Dadaist Kurt Schwitters.
