What these artists have in common is that each one has more than one painting of their work in the collection of the Toledo Museum of Art.

But now there is only one Cézanne painting, and only one Matisse painting, because the other two paintings by Cézanne and Matisse the museum had in their collection were sold to the same buyer on May 17, 2022 for US$57 million. The reason given by Adam Levine, director of the museum, was that “The Toledo Museum of Art has never sought to have multiple examples by the same artist.”

I think they were acquired intentionally. And they were quite valuable.

And these are just the artists that are represented by two or more PAINTINGS. The Toledo Museum of Art has even a bigger collection of multiple examples of the same artist in other categories, such as in their print collection, drawing collection, photography collection, sculpture collection, etc. The museum has multiple works by many artists, and it has always been their intention to have multiple examples by the same artists.
