According to the publisher's blurb, "The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is a living encyclopedia of world art. Cultures from every part of the world - from Florence to Thebes, from Pennsylvania to Papua, New Guinea - from the ancient world to the present, and in every medium, are represented, frequently at the highest levels of quality. This book presents over 250 of the finest masterpieces in the Metropolitan's collection, drawn from more than three million works in eighteen different curatorial departments. Some of these splendid objects, such as the Temple of Dendur, Botticelli's Annunciation, Rembrandt's Aristotle with a Bust of Homer, and Leutze's Washington Crossing the Delaware, are very famous; others, including a rare Chinese scroll, a drawing by Michelangelo, and an ornate Turkish sword, are less well known. All are remarkable and unique. The works have been arranged in a generally chronological order by culture, beginning with ancient Egypt and ending with the twentieth century in Europe and America. Each reproduction is accompanied by a text that includes pertinent information about the work." Over 300 illustrations in full color.

Foreward by Philippe de Montebellow - Preface by Lester Wunderman "The sculpture of the Dogon of Mali, one of the richest art traditions of West Africa, greets the visitor to the Metropolitan Museum's Michael C. Rockefeller Wing and constitutes one of the highlights of the Museum's permanent installation of African art. The outstanding collection of Dogon sculpture acquired by the Museum of Primitive Art and Nelson A. Rockefeller, transferred to the Metropolitan in 1978 and 1979, has been enriched by generous gifts made by Lester Wunderman in 1977, 1979, 1985, and 1987. Lester Wunderman's gifts to the Metropolitan, totaling 107 objects, have created a collection that few American or European museums can equal, either in range of objects or in quality. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that the MEtropolitan Museum now presents the special exhibition Art of the Dogon: Selections from the Lester Wunderman Collection . In it are masterpieces of Dogon art drawn from the personal collection of Mr. Wunderman and from the group of objects he has donated to the Museum. Although this selection includes many objects not previously exhibited, this is not the first time the Wunderman collection has been shown to the museum-going public."
