Local Hidden Treasure Unveiled on Permanent Display at Sculpture Garden

Posted on December 4, 2013 in Around Town, Arts/Theatre, Dish

Happiness isn’t happiness without a violin playing goat… Or one in the garden.

The National Gallery of Art just unveiled a permanent display of Marc Chagall’s Orphee, a glass and stone mosaic bequeathed to the museum from Georgetowner and arts patron Evelyn Stefansson Nef.

The mosaic was, in fact, a special gift to the Nef’s from Chagall after he visited the couple’s home at 28th and N Street NW in 1968. It was one of the first large-scale outdoor Chagall mosaics to be installed in the US (followed by his Four Seasons stunner in Chicago).

Orphee now resides in the Sculpture Garden for public viewing.
