Author Description

In honor of the Museum's 110th anniversary, 110 of these artists have been chosen for inclusion in this publication. Each artist's work is presented in the form of a large color plate and a detailed text entry, together with footnotes and key artist information. A selection of the artists--notably Philip Guston, Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter, and Robert Motherwell-- are presented in the form of extended monographic essays, accompanied by up to eight works, as a reflection of the importance in the Museum's permanent collection and their wider importance in the development of postwar art.
