Förlagets beskrivning
A brilliant curator, critic, collector and teacher, William Rubin was tenacious, energetic and extraordinarily successful at acquiring masterpieces of modern painting and sculpture and at mounting such exhibitions as the fabled 'Picasso: A Retrospective' during his tenure as Head of the Department of Painting and Sculpture at MoMA. This magnificently illustrated book includes colour plates of nearly 250 of Rubin's most famous acquisitions. From Cezanne, Van Gogh, Picasso and Matisse, to Pollock, de Kooning and Rothko, the range and depth of the works made an undeniable impact on the Museum and the world of modern art itself. Alongside the images is Rubin's memoir of his life as a collector and curator, his apprenticeship under Alfred Barr, the organizing of MoMA's groundbreaking exhibitions, the acquisitions of such masterpieces as Picasso's "Guitar" and Jackson Pollock's "One" and his relationships with top collectors Sidney Janis and Ronald Lauder. The book concludes with his erudite art history lectures presented at Sotheby's in 1997-8. For anyone interested in the history and world of modern art, in connoisseurship and collecting and in art scholarship, this book is truly an event and utterly indispensable
