“The sixth exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art, 730 Fifth Avenue, comprising over 100 works by Winslow Homer, Albert Pinkham Ryder, and Thomas Eakins, will open to the public on Thursday, May 8th, and will run for a month, closing June 4th.
“The private opening for members of the Museum will be held May 7th. Many of the most important oils by Homer and Eakins have been secured for the exhibition. Of special interest are several of the best known sea pieces of the former and portraits of the latter. Ryder, too, is well represented though unfortunately several of his most important pictures could not be borrowed.
“This exhibition which had been eagerly expected had to be postponed from its originally scheduled date in March because of a special exhibition of Eakins work at the Pennsylvania Museum of Art occasioned by the gift by Mrs. Eakins to that institu-tion of many of her husband's works. As a result it was necessary to postpone the exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art until after the closing of the Philadelphia exhibition.”[Museum of Modern Art press release, May 4, 1930]
