Charles Ryskamp

Charles Ryskamp (October 21, 1926—March 26, 2010)^[1] was a former Director of both The Frick Collection and the Pierpont Morgan Library, a longtime professor at Princeton University, and an avid collector of drawings and prints. At the time of his death the Yale Center for British Art had selections from his collection featured in the exhibition "Varieties of Romantic Experience: Drawings from the Collection of Charles Ryskamp,". This exhibition which was to be up from February 4 until April 25, 2010 includes works from Ryskamp's collection by Romantic period artists such as J. M. W. Turner, William Blake, David Wilkie, and Caspar David Friedrich. His collection of Danish Golden Age drawings with works by among others Christen Købke and Johan Thomas Lundbye is one of the finest in private hands.
