Celebrating modern art

Sinopse

"Celebrating Modern Art: The Anderson Collection documents one of the most important private collections of modern and contemporary art in the United States. This volume, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, features large-scale color plates of over 250 artworks by 140 artists of international renown, such as Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Alberto Giacometti, Richard Diebenkorn, and many others. The book also provides a series of in-depth essays by leading art critics and scholars including Jack Flam, Bill Berkson, Neal Benezra, Michael Brenson, and John Elderfield. In addition, curator Gary Garrels has written an introductory essay discussing the Anderson Collection as a whole and its pivotal role within the tradition of art patronage in postwar America."--Jacket.
