The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink
Guided Tour
The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests, a keen appreciation of form, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of J a.m.es McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. UMMA docents will discuss the exquisite Whistler prints, a rich representation of South Asian folk art, and other highlights from their gifts
