A friend passed this along to me. Thought I'd share. She said she
found the information on the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) site, which is

> In 1998, the Israel Museum received a gift of the Vera, Silvia and
> Arturo Schwarz Collection of Dada and Surrealism, including more than
> 700 artworks assembled by the poet, art historian, collector, scholar
> and dealer. The Israel Museum has organized a selection of the gift -
> more than 200 works - to be shown in a travelling exhibition that

> publications and ephemera representing the work of such artists as
> Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and Max Ernst.

> The Schwarz collection includes major figures of the Dada and
> Surrealist movements, as well as the artists whose work has since been
> influenced by its spirit. All the artists in the collection
> participated in at least one of the Surrealist exhibitions supervised
> or organized by André Breton. The exhibition is organized by the
> Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
