Beschreibung
Providing an exclusive glimpse into one of the finest private art collections in the world, this book presents the extraordinary collection of the Neue Galeries co-founder, Ronald S. Lauder To celebrate the Neue Galeries twentieth-anniversary year, an exhibition will be presented of selections from the collection of its co-founder. The accompanying publication continues with the theme of the tenth anniversary exhibition. Whereas the earlier show and book focused on pieces from the third century BC to the twentieth century AD from Austria, France, and Germany, this exhibition and publication will represent various centuries and media, highlighting Greek and Roman works, and Italian thirteenth- and fourteenth-century gold-ground paintings. Essays by distinguished art historians and curators will reflect on the breadth of these special fields, providing a background for various works, and their incorporation into the collection of the Neue Galeries co-founder.Published in association with the Neue Galerie New York
