WHITNEY MUSEUM OF ART.

A series of exhibitions and accompanying catalogues organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, Views from Abroad examines the complex artistic crosscurrents between Europe and America in 20th-century art. This latest volume, subtitled American Realities, highlights a wide range or masterworks from the Whitney's Permanent Collection. Exploring the themes of allegory, symbolism, and narrative as central to American art, it also reconsiders the relationship of these themes to abstraction. Essays reexamine the legacy of modern and contemporary American art, explicitly focusing on radical approaches to the depiction of people and places.

The Whitney Museum of American Art, founded by visionary patron and artist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875-1942), is home to one of the finest collections of American art in the country. Frames of Reference features eminent contributors from the fields of art, literature, and contemporary culture who together provide a wide-ranging introduction to American art as well as to the Whitney Museum's unparalleled collection. Kennedy Fraser's introductory essay focuses on Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, especially on her relationships with the artists of her time, her own artistic development, and her farsighted advocacy of American art and artists. In section two, Adam D. Weinberg, Beth Venn, Kathryn Potts, and Kate Rubin concentrate on twenty-seven of the Whitney's most popular works, each entry accompanied by captions and related images that shed new light on old favorites. The book's third section features ten "icons" from the Whitney's Permanent Collection, with three contributors providing distinct perspectives on each work. This stimulating combination of voices instructs, enlightens, and, at times, amuses: John Updike on Edward Hopper's Early Sunday Morning, Alan Dershowitz on Ben Shahn's The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti, and George Plimpton on George Bellows' Dempsey and Firpo are examples of this section's diverse mix. With its unique design and variety of approaches to viewing and understanding art, Frames of Reference will change the way visitors experience the Whitney Museum and will delight art lovers who might not have the opportunity to visit New York.

Whitney Musem of American Art / Harry N. Abrams

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.
