At the turn of the 21st century, as the Philadelphia Museum of Art prepares to celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2001, what could be more appropriate than to publish a book surveying the Museum's remarkable collections of 20th-century painting and sculpture? This book handsomely illustrates a selection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's outstanding modern art collection, accompanied by lively, descriptive notes. We put this book into your hands to draw you further into the Museum, into its great collections, and into the extraordinary, unexpected, unfolding world of the art of our own time. - Publisher.
