Picassos among pieces at Ohio display
When retail mogul Leslie Wexner peers at one of the Picassos, Dubuffets or Giacomettis in the personal art collection he and his wife Abigail have amassed over the years, he feels a range of emotions that often include gratitude, defeat and exhilaration.
"I find it inspiring in a way ... that tangible creativity you find in painting or performance," says the philanthropist and chairman of L Brands, the company behind Victoria's Secret, Limited and Henri Bendel.
Art lovers are getting an opportunity to experience their own emotional responses to the Wexners' rarely seen collection, now that 60 of their paintings and sculptures spanning the 19th through 21st centuries have gone on public display. Transfigurations runs through Dec 31 at the Wexner Center for the Arts, on the campus of Ohio State University.
