The Wing Sisters, Part III: The Wing Collection
Meredith Clowse ‘26 is an Art History Major and an Archives Concentrator at Smith. This research project is the culmination of her work as the Kennedy Fellow at SCMA the 2025-2026 academic year.
The Wing sisters began donating artwork to SCMA in 1951, when they were in their seventies, until they died in the late 1960s. These donations shed light on their personal taste in art and what they viewed as worthy of being given to the Museum. For more personal background on Caroline and Adeline Wing, refer back to Parts I & II of this series of blog posts.
