 In 1982, the Ambassador Maxwell and Mrs. Muriel Gluck bequeathed their collection of art to SDMA. Their generous donation also provided an endowment designated for the care and display of the paintings and to establish a gallery in their name. The Maxwell H. and Muriel Gluck Gallery was officially unveiled on November 23, 1985, approximately one year after the death of Ambassador Gluck. The small upstairs gallery dedicated to the Gluck collection of late 18th- through early 20th- century European art has recently undergone renovation work. The new lighting, carpet, and walls enhance the experience of viewing a selection of impressionist, post-impressionist, and early 20th century works donated by the Glucks over the past two decades. Among the artists featured are such well-known names as Maximilien Luce, Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Alberto Modigliani. A fine portrait by the 18th century British artist Sir Henry Raeburn is also on view.
