Aso O. Tavitian, who passed away in 2020, amassed a remarkable collection of artworks over just 16 years, valued in the hundreds of millions.
Tavitian’s foundation has gifted 331 artworks valued in the hundreds of millions to the Clark Art Institute, along with $45 million for a new wing.
His collection includes works by masters like Rubens and Vigee Le Brun, and reflects a princely aesthetic, according to Olivier Meslay.
