Author Description

The core values at the heart of the Anderson Collection -- one of the most important private art collections in the United States -- can be described as the tension between abstraction and figuration and an interest in the artist's hand. This beautiful catalog from the San Francisco MOMA, features masterpieces by Pollock, Stella, Rauschenberg, Giacometti, Diebenkorn, Liechtenstein, Warhol, and many more. There is an informative essay on the history of the collection, plus eleven additional pieces that offer a focused look at specific works such as Nolde's Head of a Woman, Pollock's Lucifer, and Jasper John's Land's End.
