Prendergast Archive and Study Center (PASC)

Founded in 1990, the PASC houses letters, photographs, books, and other research materials pertaining to the American artists Maurice and Charles Prendergast and their era (American and European art 1850-1950).

The center is directed by Nancy Mowll Mathews, Eugénie Prendergast Senior Curator of Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Art and Lecturer in Art, who conducts ongoing research for exhibitions and publications and maintains current information on the complete works of the Prendergasts.

The center is home to the catalogue raisonné project which continually updates the 1990 publication, Maurice Brazil Prendergast, Charles Prendergast: A Catalogue Raisonné. Scholars and collectors from around the world consult the PASC for information from its files and opinions concerning the authenticity of works attributed to the Prendergasts.

Owners of works believed to be by Maurice and Charles Prendergast can request an opinion as to their authenticity by contacting Nancy Mathews, Eugénie Prendergast Senior Curator of Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Art and Lecturer in Art.
