| Summary | "Modern Art on Display: The Legacies of Six Collectors is structured as a sequence of case studies that pair collectors of modern art with artists they particularly favored.... The case studies are linked by a thematic focus on the integral relationship between the collectors' acquired knowledge about the work they amassed and their innovative display models. This focus brings a new perspective to the history of collecting and interpreting modern art in America for nearly half a century (1915-1960). By examining the books that the collectors themselves read and analyzing archival photographs of their displays, Aichele makes a case for the historical significance of how these collectors presented the art they acquired before their collections were institutionalized"--Page [4] of cover. |
