Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** Art collections of Dominique and John de Menil. The Menils are best known for their very urbane collection of Surrealism (Magritte on cover) as well as their patronage of Earthworks and Post-Minimalism, but this book shows that their appetite for art is very broad indeed. Texas oil money buys a whole bunch of art. *** "The Menil Collection: A selection from the Paleolithic to the Modern Era presents works of art from the extraordinary private collection of Dominique and John de Menil, which was assembled over the last forty years. This book, and the new museum built to house the collection in Houston, Texas, for the first time make available to the public the content of The Menil Collection. The nearly 250 works shown here in color reproductions are, of couse, only a fraction of the collection's 10,000 items that include painting, drawings, prints and photographs, rare books, sculpture, and precious objects." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: 22 critical essays . . . art of ancient cultures; Medieval and Byzantine art; European painting, sixteenth-eighteeneth century; Image of the Black in Western art; Colonial art in the New World; Art of the tribal cultures; Twentieth Century art.

Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z / M : 264 pp., 249 ills. - This book traces the development of Pop Art in the fifties and sixties to the dialogue between British and American artists, documenting its complex genesis in London and later in New York and Los Angeles and concentrating on the development of its 'pure' characteristics, such as sharply outlined images and the use of photographic media and printing techniques. The book not only investigates the connections between American and British artists with respect to content and form but also takes a closer look at the exchange between the East and West Coast of the United States.…

First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new, still in the publisher's original shrink wrap. Physical description; 239 p. : col. ill., col. maps ; 30 cm. Summary; Bamana masks and headdresses, Lega ivories, Dogon sculpture, and Benue bronzes are among the many exquisite African artifacts found in the renowned Menil Collection. This stunning book-the first comprehensive catalogue on the de Menils' collection of African art-features 115 of the museum's finest pieces. Dating primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries, these works come from North Africa and the Sahel, Coastal West Africa, and Central and East Africa. An essay by scholar Kristina Van Dyke discusses the formation of the collection, which was inspired in part by its relationship to modernist works and by the couple's interest in human rights. This insightful text also explains how the de Menils' visionary spirit was influenced by African art and places those objects within the context of the whole of the de Menils' collection, in which works from ancient, Byzantine, medieval, modern, Oceanic, and Native American cultures speak to the universal struggle for human understanding. Entries for the selected works were written by leading scholars in the field and are grouped into sections based on regions. Subjects; Menil Collection (Houston, Tex.) Catalogs. Art, African Catalogs. 2 Kg. …
