2017 will mark the 100th anniversary of the acquisition of Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy (1877–1947) Collection of Indian art (along with the collector as the first curator of Indian art in America) by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which is already renowned for its Chinese and Japanese collections. The man behind both the acquisition of the collection and the appointment of the future savant was a “Boston Brahmin” and a prodigious philanthropist named Denman Waldo Ross (1853–1935), who however is little remembered today. Ross’s gifts to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston number in the thousands and he may be characterized as the most “globally” eclectic collector before the word “global” became a buzzword. This illustrated lecture will recount the close bond that existed between the curator and the patron, which is the essential secret of building a great museum collection in America.

A Tale of a Curator and a Collector: The Ross-Coomaraswamy Bond Pratapaditya Pal discusses the Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy Collection of Indian art.
