Beyond the Medici: The Haukohl Family Collection (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9788836641284)

Sir Mark Fehrs Haukohl, a Houston-based art collector and cofounder of the Medici Archive Project, has built America's largest private collection of Florentine baroque paintings from the 17th to 18th centuries. The paintings, drawings, textiles, and sculpture illustrated in the collection document the Medici patronage and artists of the period. Particular attention is paid to the Dandini Family of painters: Cesare, Vincenzo, Pier and Ottaviano. Essays by Drs. Eike Schmidt, James Bradburn, Federico Berti, Fabio Sottili and Francesco Scasciamacchia address a broad overview of collecting and history of the period. . Each artist is reviewed in depth along with a generous bibliography. The exhibition has toured five museums in Europe from 2018-2023. The exhibition continues in the United States in 2023-2025 at the Rollins Museum of Art, The David Owsley Museum of Art, and the Arthur Ross Gallery.
