| 內容簡介： |
William S. Paley, founder of CBS, Inc., and a towering figure
in the modern entertainment, communication and news-dissemination
industries, was also an enthusiastic collector of twentieth-century
art and a committed supporter of The Museum of Modern Art. This
volume presents his extraordinary personal collection of
eighty-four paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings by some of
the most important figures of modern art, including Paul Cézanne,
André Derain, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso,
bequeathed to the Museum in one of the most significant transfers
of a private collection to a public institution in recent history.
Paley embraced modernism during a period when most collectors
sought works by Old Masters, and he built his collection based on
personal taste with little regard for art-world prestige. Aside
from certain loans made to enhance exhibitions at MoMA, his
collection rarely left the walls of his home and office and was
seldom seem by the public until it was left to the William S. Paley
Foundation for donation to the Museum. This richly illustrated
volume, originally published in 1992 to accompany a series of
traveling exhibitions organized by MoMA to bring this outstanding
collection to venues around North America, presents each work on a
full page accompanied by commentary from William Rubin, Director
Emeritus of the Department of Painting and Sculpture, and Matthew
Armstrong, former Curator in the Department of Painting and
Sculpture.
