Unless one is an intimate friend, it is not often that the opportunity arises to view prize possessions from very private collections. But that is exactly what the Lyman Allyn Art Museum is going to do with upcoming exhibition Members Collect: The Thrill of the Chase. It will feature extraordinary works of art from the collections of Museum members who live in the region of New London, Connecticut east to Westerly, Rhode Island. Landscapes, portraiture, still life…abstract, expressionist, realistic…paintings, sculpture, multi-media. – captivating pieces from impassioned collectors.
