American Primitive Paintings from the Collection of Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch

About the exhibition

The Columbus Museum of Arts and Crafts presented American paintings from the Garbisch collection in 1968–1969. The documented selection includes portraits by Ammi Phillips and works by other artists. The source’s historical category and sitter titles are preserved. Exact surviving examples are Ammi Phillips’s Mr. Day (c. 1835; oil on canvas), listed as no. 8 and Ammi Phillips’s Mrs. Day (c. 1835; oil on canvas), listed as no. 9. This is a partial checklist reconstructed from the objects’ museum histories; precise opening and closing days remain unknown.
