NARRATIVE
The Hub of the World: Art in Eighteenth-Century Rome, is an exhibition held at Nicholas Hall gallery’s space on 17 East 76th Street in New York. The exhibition celebrates the centenary of the pioneering American scholar, connoisseur and artist Anthony M. Clark (1923–1976). Considered one of the top museum professionals of his generation, Clark held prominent curatorial roles at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, of which he later became director. His taste for art produced in 18th-century Rome had a profound impact on American collecting in the 1950s and 60s. The Hub of the World brought together more than sixty works of art by artists who lived in or travelled to Rome in the eighteenth century, as well as a selection of the Clark’s personal notebooks on loan from the National Gallery of Art Library, Washington D.C.
