"Convergence: The Art Collection of the National Academy of Sciences" is the first publication to present the Academy's landmark holdings. No other force has had a greater impact on contemporary culture than advancements in science and technology, providing rich terrain for artists to explore and investigate.The Academy's growing collection encompasses painting, prints, sculpture, photography, and architecture (in the form of the newly restored historic building that serves as the NAS's headquarters), a significant selection of which is presented together for the first time in "Convergence." Essays by art and science thought-leaders, including E. O. Wilson, Roald Hoffman, Anne Collins Goodyear, Andrew Solomon, and Lucy Lippard, among others, help to connect the dots between these emerging and increasingly influential constellations of cultural and scientific intersection.
