REALISING WONDERFUL IDEAS. Colin Bailey is a British art historian and Director of the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City. He is a scholar of eighteenth and nineteenth century French art, with a specific interest in the artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. For the first time ever in America, Caravaggio's Boy With A Basket Of Fruit is on show at The Morgan.
"Renoir Drawings is a survey of Renoir working on paper, drawings, pastels; and then how some of those drawings relate to paintings and even sculpture.
"We also are a teaching institution, so we want to put a light on Caravaggio in a slightly different way.
"My first job is just keep telling everyone how interesting and lively and rewarding The Morgan is and making sure that it is."
