Today in Gallery History
November 29, 1987, was the final day to view William Merritt Chase: Summers at Shinnecock 1891-1902 and Berthe Morisot: Impressionist at the National Gallery of Art. Both exhibitions had opened on the same day, September 6, 1987, and both were accompanied by catalogues published or co-published by the Gallery.
