The exhibition also features several pieces of historical and contemporary sculpture, video art, paintings and decorative arts the Museum purchased over the past two years with financial assistance from several donors, as well as from the Easton Pribble and the William C. and Catherine Palmer funds, and the Museum's Docent Fund for Acquisitions.</p> <div class="captionImage left" style="width: 468px; text-align: center;"><img class="left" src="http://www.mwpai.org/assets/museum/Enhancing-a-Legacy/_resampled/resizedimage468600-2010-LW.jpg" width="468" height="600" alt="" title=""/><p class="caption" style="text-align: center;">Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925-2008), <em>Scissors</em>,<br/>1979, photographic screenprint and fabric on wove paper.<br/>75th Anniversary Acquisition.

Schweizer noted, “is a stunning testament to the generosity of the Museum's many friends and benefactors whose gifts will be enjoyed by the numerous generations that will visit the Museum in the years to come." Schweizer added that “all the artworks in the exhibition demonstrate the high level of quality that has consistently characterized the growth of the Museum’s renowned permanent collection over the past seventy-five years. The exhibition is a tangible embodiment of the passion, foresight and art-historical wisdom of all those who have cared about and lovingly built the permanent collection since it was established by the Proctor family in 1935.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <div class="captionImage center" style="width: 475px; text-align: center;"><img class="center" src="http://www.mwpai.org/assets/museum/Enhancing-a-Legacy/_resampled/resizedimage475600-2011.1-straightLW.jpg" width="475" height="600" alt="" title=""/><p class="caption" style="text-align: center;">Unknown maker (Cincinnati, Ohio), Wall Clock, ca. 1875-85, wood and brass.<br/>75th Anniversary Acquisition.
