Description:
Welcome to Kansas City's Oak Street Mansion and its beguiling Art Collection. The artwork, splendidly reproduced in the pages of this book, represents a lifetime of dedicated collecting by Kansas City eye surgeon Roland Sabates and his wife Marcia Sabates. The works range from Thomas Hart Benton lithographs to dazzling contemporary Cuban canvases to evocative African sculpture. And, since Roland likes delving into artists' stories almost as much as he appreciates their art, you will surely enjoy his intriguing analysis of each artist. Plus, you'll be treated to a fascinating look at the amazing mansion itself, its history, and revealing portraits of the rooms within, outfitted not just as a hotel but as a showcase for the unique collection. Nestled just a block from Kansas City's famed Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and near many other popular cultural venues, the Oak Street Mansion is the ideal place for the art lover to stay while in Kansas City.
