About This Item
New York: Rizzoli, 1995. Hardcover. VG-/VG- (light bumping to corners. spine ends bumped. faint to darker sunning to edges, darker hue particularly spine ends. dustjacket spine sunned w/ light sunning to edges; spine ends crinkled, rubbed). black cloth boards w/ blindstamped printing. 303 pgs w/ primarily color illustrations. glossy, multicolor dustjacket w/ red title printing. "...While the collection includes a number of works by such well-established artists as Georg Baselitz, Louise Bourgeois, Jasper Johns, Anselm Kiefer, and Cy Twombly, there is also a strong focus on the artists of the 1980s-- Cindy Sherman, David Salle, and Francesco Clemente-- as well as on younger emerging artists, such as Günther Förg, Guillermo Kuitca, Lorna Simpson, and Kiki Smith. While many corporate collections avoid controversial, emotional, or political art, the selection guided by Donald B. Marron, the businessman who pioneered the establishment of this museum-quality collection for PaineWebber, is remarkably free of such self-censorship with a daring vitality in the choice of works. This volume encompasses more than 350 works of art, many never before published. Each work is augmented by a companion text that serves to contextualize and explicate the work and the artist. In addition, there are several special commissions included by artists including Susan Rothenberg and Frank Stella. Photographs by noted artist Louise Lawler depict the installation of the art works as viewed every day by PaineWebber employees."--Amazon.
