The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art on the Las Vegas Strip will display actor Steve Martin's personal art collection in a five-month exhibit starting April 7, the MGM MIRAGE property announced Wednesday.
Martin's collection includes 28 modern and contemporary paintings and drawings, and include artwork from Georges Seurat and Pablo Picasso. Also included in the collection are paintings by actors Martin Mull and Eric Fischl. The display will include two paintings from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, previously donated to the museum by Martin.
The Martin exhibit will run from April 7 to Sept. 3. It will replace the 26-painting exhibit from the Phillips Collection of Washington, D.C., on display at the Bellagio since Sept. 1. The collection's last day at the Bellagio is March 25.
