The collection was given to the John Hopkins University in 1945 by Mr. Fowler.
This catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition, "A Russian's Winter in Baltimore: Leon Bakst at Evergreen, 192223," at Johns Hopkins University's Evergreen House (now Evergreen Museum & Library), February 9May 25, 2003. Bakst's connection to Evergreen House began during his tenure as a stage set and costume designer for the Ballets Russes under Sergei Diaghilev. While in Paris between 1914 and 1917, Bakst met the owners of Evergreen, Ambassador John Work Garrett and his wife, Alice Warder Garrett. In 1922, the Garretts invited Bakst to their Baltimore home to design its theater, costumes and three stage sets, newly conserved for the exhibition.
