Catalog “An American in Paris: Architectural Drawings from the Neil Levine Collection”

The American Friends were pleased to support the catalog, published bilingually in English and French for the 2016 exhibition of Neil Levine’s unique collection of architectural drawings.

The exhibition and the accompanying catalog testify to the importance of both the drawings in the context of the Orsay’s collections and the 19th-century French architects’ and American historians’ renewed interest in them in the 1970s. In 2012, Neil Levine donated his collection to the Musée d’Orsay via the procedures that AFMO put in place for American donors to encourage gifts of art.
