Collecting photography can be immensely enjoyable. In fact, it can become an all-consuming passion, as it is for Sondra Gilman, who began collecting in the 1970s when she was "thunderstruck" at an exhibition of Eugène Atget's photographs. After twenty-five rewarding years of building one of the foremost photography collections in America--after "shuddering" when she made that seemingly expensive initial purchase of an Atget--Sondra Gilman is now showing her collection for the first time, offering a new generation the chance to feel the intense contact with visual things that she herself felt at the outset of her life as a collector of photography and continues to experience today. Noted for its uncommon vision and aesthetic clarity within a wide reach of photographic medium, the Sondra Gilman Collection provides an invaluable introduction to the art of photography, to where it has been and where it is going. Within this volume are some of the finest examples of photography produced over the last one hundred years, from the great masters to the newcomers making their mark. The Preface by Mark Haworth-Booth, curator of photography at the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum, London, discusses the important collections of the past. Adam Weinberg, curator of the permanent collection for the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, comments on the Sondra Gilman Collection in particular, providing themes to help understand the images: instantaneous time versus the eternal, appropriating other works into a picture, taking the common and making it strange, the self divided as one sees oneself in relation to others, and he includes pointers on developing a collector's eye. Award-winning novelist Marianne Wiggins plays with the idea of the power of photography. For each of the photographers featured in the book, there is a perceptive thumbnai biograpy and a significant quote by the photographer about the making of pictures. From the Heart: The Power of Photography--A Collector's Choice provides an inside look at the art of photography and sends a message that you too can collect photography.

Terry Winters’s work of the past decade weaves disparate strains of idea, object, and physical operations into the primary logic of his art. His art contains an astonishing array of forms and demonstrates the equally surprising breadth of his artistic language. This retrospective volume continues where the mid-career survey (1992) at the Whitney Museum concluded, presenting the past decade of Winters’s innovative work in paintings, prints, drawings, and artists’ books. Terry Winters presents the ways in which the artist creates sets and subsets of distinctive works that interact with bodies of previous and current work. Also included are images by the artist that have not previously been exhibited or published.Winters’s work is frequently included in conversations and studies relating to the interplay of art and science, and his recent paintings, drawings, and prints reflect his engagement with scientific and computational systems of thought and presentations of information. For Winters, abstract art has become a vehicle not for reproducing and inventing form but for harnessing forces.” By utilizing expressive means, data becomes pictorial and spatial.” This superbly illustrated volume displays the full range of Winters’s newest works and the complex relationships that link them to one another.

New York artist Alex Katz is best known for his eye-catching, large-scale portraits, figures, and landscapes, but in the mid-1950s he painted intimate works, originating the style that would become the hallmark of his mature work. By the early 1960s, he established a procedure of making small sketches using oil paint on Masonite board, which he would enlarge and modify, then make into paper cartoons to transfer to the canvas. He produces one or more small sketches for every large painting. 
Although Katz considers the large works to be his major productions, small-scale paintings are the underpinning of his work, revealing his initial passion for a subject--a love at first sight before it has fully matured. While his big paintings are akin to a public performance, the small paintings are rehearsals that reveal not only how he works but more importantly why he is interested in a particular subject. This volume focuses on the achievement and significance of Katz's small paintings.
