【聯合晚報╱美聯社】
An entertainment executive pledged a collection of paintings by Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and other major artists to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Thursday.
一位娛樂業主管6日承諾,將把一批畢卡索、莫內、德加等重要藝術家的繪畫收藏捐贈給洛杉磯郡藝術博物館 (LACMA)。
"Los Angeles helped make my career possible," said Jerry Perenchio, the former chairman and CEO of Univision who has lived in the city for 70 years. "My family and I are proud and honored to be able to give something back to a wonderful city."
在洛杉磯住了70年的前Univision公司董事長兼執行長培倫基歐說:「洛杉磯協助我發展事業生涯,我和家人都以能夠回饋這個美妙的城市深感榮幸。」
The collection consists of about 47 pieces, including paintings and sculpture. Among the pieces are Impressionist paintings by Monet, Edouard Manet and Paul Cezanne; a surrealist work by Rene Magritte; and a 1909 portrait by Picasso that presages his later Cubist efforts.
這批收藏共有47件繪畫與雕刻,其中包括莫內、馬奈與塞尚的印象派畫作;馬格利特的超現實作品;還有一幅預告畢卡索晚期立體派畫風的1909年畫作。
The museum declined to put a value on the collection, but CEO Michael Govan said at a press conference that "LACMA could never afford to buy these artworks on our own."
該博物館拒絕為這批收藏品估價,但該館執行長哥凡在記者會上說:「LACAM絕對無法憑自己的財力購買這些藝品。」
