Thannhauser: The Thannhauser Collection of the Guggenheim Museum

Bequeathed to the Guggenheim Museum by Justin K. Thannhauser, this sparkling collection features important works from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early Modern periods, including 32 paintings and works on paper by Picasso. In addition to the impeccable reproductions of every work in the collection, this book includes a fascinating new essay on Thannhauser, a leading art dealer in pre-World War II Europe whose family's gallery was the first to represent Picasso as well as the Blue Rider Group. This revised edition includes two essays on the period as well as a dozen insightful texts on the highlights of the collection, which include paintings by Czanne, Degas, Gauguin, Renoir, van Gogh, and, of course, Picasso. 210 illustrations, 120 in full color, 911/2 x 12" Paul Tucker is a highly regarded art historian and expert on Impressionism.
