Förlagets beskrivning
It has been said that the history of modern art--especially as it is understood in the United States--is inextricably linked to that defining institution of the 20th century, The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Since its founding in 1929, the museum has been known for its unrivaled collection of artworks created over the last century. And since its first publication was issued, in that same year, it has reproduced countless paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and design objects from its collection, accompanying them with elucidating essays written by some of the most notable scholars of the day. Never before, however, has the collection been viewed through the lens of the museum's history in the way it is here. Visions of Modern Art not only gathers together masterworks from the painting and sculpture department, it anthologizes the texts written about them from the museum's vast archives and publications, beginning in 1929 and ending in 2002. With texts by Alfred H. Barr Jr., Charles Burchfield, Thomas Hess, Jenny Holzer, Henry Hope, Joseph Kosuth, Lucy Lippard, Robert Motherwell, Francis Naumann, Ad Reinhart, John Rewald, Robert Rosenblum, William Rubin, James Thrall Soby, Robert Storr, Anne Umland, Kirk Varnedoe, Anne Wagner, Sarah Whitfield, Deborah Wye and many more.~About artworks such as Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night, Henri Rousseau's The Dream, Monet's Water Lilies, Henri Matisse's The Dance and Pablo Picasso's Girl Before a Mirror, as well as major works by Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter, Philip Guston, and many others.
