The exhibition will also unveil to the public many of the most important works in the collection
that, because of their personal significance, had remained in the Nasher residence, such as
Jean Arp's Torso with Buds, the first major modern sculpture in the collection,which Patsy had
purchased for Raymond on his 46th birthday. The new installation of the collection will be
complemented by numerous photographs, didactic texts, a new video and additions to the
audio tour, including recollections of the Nashers from the artists, art world figures, family and
friends who knew them best.
