Exclusive: 125 masterworks from late Fayez Sarofim's art collection on loan to MFAH
Fayez, a noted philanthropist and investor, also had a keen eye for art. The Egyptian-born businessman spent 60 years assembling one of the country's most significant private collections of American art. He died in May at age 93.
The evening included a preview of what's to come: The selection of American art, European paintings and objects will be installed across MFAH gallery buildings, on view indefinitely. Over the weekend, paintings by Hassam, Hopper and Sargent hung in Cullinan Hall, among other works. A survey of more modern works by Robert Rauschenberg, Ellsworth Kelly and Willem de Kooning shared a contemporary space.
At one time, Sarofim was the wealthiest man in Houston; Sarofim & Co. is now one of the largest privately held investment firms in the country, maintaining a large share of MFAH's endowment.
