The estate of David Rockefeller is giving more than $200 million to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the largest gift in its history.

Rockefeller, who died in 2017, was a long-time museum benefactor and trustee, donating masterpieces by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Paul Cezanne and Henri Matisse to its collection. In 2005, he pledged $100 million to the institution his mother helped found in 1929.
