Zoo
in the House: Animals in the Doris Duke Art Collection
thru November 8th
Doris Duke, heiress and art collector, was known as an avid animal
enthusiast. Her most notable pets were two camels who summered at Rough
Point, her Newport mansion, so it is not surprising that animals appear
as a frequent theme in her remarkable art collection. Animals depicted
as companions, as wild life, and as allegorical creatures will be the
subject of a new exhibition entitled Zoo in the House: Animals in the
Doris Duke Art Collection. A personal glimpse of Doris Duke and her
beloved pet dogs will be provided through photographs and video |

coats and accessories recently donated to the Preservation Society
by Diane Vernes Brown.
