<p>The Toledo Museum of Art is one of America's great museums. Supported by devoted and generous members since it was chartered in 1901, the Museum has grown to be a palace for the arts. On its thirty-six acre campus, visitors discover three core buildings, more than forty galleries, the Peristyle concert hall, a sculpture garden, and classrooms and studios for artists young and old. This book celebrates the heart of the Museum the art collection. The 300 masterworks featured in this book honor more than a century of collecting. The Toledo Museum is world-famous for its Old Master paintings and its comprehensive representation of the art of glass. Less well-known but no less outstanding are its choice collections of art from Asia, Africa, and the ancient Mediterranean. Visitors to the galleries and readers of this book will enjoy a virtual journey from the Ancient World through Modernism as they encounter paintings and sculptures arranged in harmony with superb examples of tableware, jewelry, furniture, prints, and photographs. The selections in this book highlight works by such famous artists as Exekias, Dürer, El Greco, Rembrandt, Rubens, Fragonard, Gainsborough, David, Turner, Cole, Courbet, Monet, Degas, van Gogh, Steichen, Picasso, Hopper, Brancusi, Miró, Chihuly, and Kiefer. Recent additions of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art suggest that Toledo s second century of collecting will be as illustrious as its first. Each of the 300 works of art, including the Museum s three stunningly beautiful and strikingly different buildings, is illustrated in color, with brief, informative comments. Index</p>

Toledo Museum of Art

Toledo Museum of Art was the location for two glassblowing seminars in 1962, since known as the Toledo Workshops, that ignited a blaze of interest in glass as an artistic medium. Since those earliest days of the Studio Glass movement, color has been a definitive aspect of work in glass. A companion to the exhibition of the same name at the Toledo Museum of Art (June 14 August 26, 2012), this intriguing exploration of color in glass is generously illustrated with works by more than fifty artists. "Color Ignited" traces the cultural, historical, and technological influences that shaped artists attitudes towards the inherent chromatic qualities of glass and its expressive possibilities, from the art by accident approach of studio glass pioneers in the early 1960s to complex, conceptual installations by contemporary artists with international reach. © 2012 Toledo Museum of Art, 11.5 x 10.5 inches
