Profusely illustrated with color photo…graphs, black-and-white photographs, paintings (watercolor, oil, etc.). "Baseball is not just a sport, it's a state of mind. No other game has been a source of inspiration to such a wide variety of literary and artistic talent. In these pages, some of America's finest writers and artists reveal their love for baseball and celebrate the passion and excitement of our national pastime. Diamonds are Forever contains beautiful, full-color reproductions of original drawings, paintings, sculpture, photographs, and prints - from a turn-of-the-century copper bat weather vane to Andy Warhol's silk screen print of Pete Rose. Fascinating excerpts by writers as diverse as Ernest Hemingway, Roger Angell, Stephen King, John Updike, Lesley Hazleton, and Garrison Keillor explore every aspect of baseball: the ballparks, the players, and the fans; the rules, the weather, and the competition; the playing, the watching, and the fantasizing. What is it about baseball that fascinates us so? The answer is here in words and images - as eloquent testament to our love of the quintessential American game. Diamonds are forever." - from the inner front cover.

The show included significant paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and videos by artists such as Andy Warhol, Elaine de Kooning, and Robert Rauschenberg.
