With essays by Salvador Salort-Pons and Debra N. Mancoff, Treasures of the DIA presents 175 masterworks from the museum’s encyclopedic collections: from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome to the present day and spanning the globe.
Among the more notable works are Vincent van Gogh’s Self-Portrait, James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket, Bruegel’s The Wedding Dance, a Kongo Nail Figure, the Mesopotamian Dragon Panel from the Ishtar Gate, and Diego Rivera’s monumental Detroit Industry murals, and much more.
Softcover, 176 pages.
Dimensions: 8 x 10 x 5/8 inches.
Sumptuous color and attractive design, both inside and out. I love everything about this book. In an era of questionable quality for museum publications, no corners were cut here when decisions were made on editorial content, paper quality, or printing. The book is worth twice the price.
