About This Item
Philadelphia , Pennsylvania: Philadelphia Art Museum, 2002. Softcover. VG (corners bumped). Gold wraps with color illustrations on front and back, xix, 195 pp, profusely illustrated in color and bw. Published on the 125th anniversary of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this book records the fabulous works of art acquired in honor of this momentous occasion. Some two hundred color reproductions beautifully document the range and quality of these giftsfrom an ancient Japanese earthenware jar to spectacular works by Jasper Johns and Gerhard Richter. Brief essays by the Museums curators discuss each of the new acquisitions and place them in the context of the Museums collections. An introductory essay on gift-giving makes clear the vital relationship between museums and donors and the way that gifts of art influence the life of an institution and the experience of its visitors. An easy-to-use checklist at the back of the book provides additional black-and-white reproductions and a guide to the body of the book.
