The organization of the Gallery was completed by the Board Of Trustees on November 6, 1873, and on April 29, 1874, all of the rooms of the Institution for exhibition purposes were opened to the public.

American Treasures of the Corcoran Gallery of Art by Corcoran Gallery of Art,Sarah Cash,David C. Levy,Terrie Sultan Pdf
A tiny tour through one of the country's first and best collections of American art. The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington's oldest and largest private art museum, is recognized nationally and internationally for its outstanding collection of American art. Its founder, William Wilson Corcoran, was among the first American collectors to appreciate contemporary art of this country, at a time when most of his peers favored European works. His important collection of mainly American paintings and sculpture formed the nucleus of the art museum he founded in 1869. Over its 130-year history, the Corcoran's collection of American art has grown dramatically through purchases and generous gifts. Today the Corcoran's holdings total over 14,000 objects dating from the 6th century b.c. to the present, at the core of which is a world-renowned collection of 19th-century American paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, and photographs. The collections of 18th- and 20th-century American painting, sculpture, and works on paper are augmented by a highly regarded collection of modern and contemporary photographs and media arts. 240 full-color illustrations About the Author David C. Levy is President and Director of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Sarah Cash is the Bechhoefer Curator of American Art; Terrie Sultan is Curator of Contemporary Art.
