{"product_id":"9781611496161","title":"Modern Art on Display: The Legacies of Six Collectors","description":"\u003cp\u003eModern Art on Display: The Legacies of Six Collectors is structured as a sequence of case studies that pair collectors of modern art with artists they particularly favored: Duncan Phillips and Augustus Vincent Tack; Albert Barnes and Chaim Soutine; Albert Eugene Gallatin and Juan Gris; Lillie Bliss and Paul Cézanne; Etta Cone and Henri Matisse; G. David Thompson and Paul Klee. The case studies are linked by a thematic focus on the integral relationship between the collectors’ acquired knowledge about the work they amassed and their innovative display models. This focus brings a new perspective to the history of collecting and interpreting modern art in America for nearly half a century (1915-1960). By examining the books the collectors themselves read and analyzing archival photographs of their displays, the author makes a case for the historical significance of how the collectors presented the art they acquired before their collections were institutionalized.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Delaware Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060468269296,"sku":"9781611496161","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781611496161_p0.jpg?v=1763845517","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781611496161","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
