The Norwest Collection of Modernist Design is the single largest corporate
donation of works of art ever given to The Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
With an estimated book value in the millions, the collection includes
475 outstanding examples of the Modernism period from the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. With the addition of the Norwest Collection to its
already significant holdings, the Institutes Modernist design collection
ranks among the top 10 in the nation.
Norwest is among the Institutes largest corporate benefactors,
providing support for museum programs, exhibitions and capital campaigns.
The new organization, created by a merger of Norwest Corporation with
Wells Fargo, plans to maintain its support of the Institute. Early in
the year 2000 the Institute will dedicate a new Wells Fargo Gallery of
Modernist Design on the museums Third Floor, which will showcase
many of the works not seen in the summer exhibition.
