Collector Leaves Miro, Klee Works to Museum

Five Surrealist paintings by Paul Klee and Joan Miro have been given to the Art Institute of Chicago by the estate of a local artist and collector.

Claire Ziesler, who died last month at the age of 88, was a major collector of Klee’s work. She had decided in 1987 that the works would go to the institute upon her death.
