Epitome of Desire
This is an American story that reminds us of the possibilities our nation offers. It's the story of the son of a Russian immigrant, Ray Nasher, who was born in Boston, lived in a three-decker house, and graduated from that great democratizer, Boston Latin School. It's the story of his entrepreneurial success in Texas and his marriage to Patsy and their creation, over the course of more than forty years, of one of the greatest sculpture collections of the twentieth century. It's also the story of how that sculpture collection and the Nashers were courted by the most powerful art institutions and their directors—the National Gallery and its director, the late Carter Brown, the Guggenheim and...

Andy Warhol
A critical primer on the work of Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol (1928-1987), one of the most celebrated artists of the last third of the twentieth century, owes his unique place in the history of visual culture not to the mastery of a single medium but to the exercise of multiple media and roles. A legendary art world figure, he worked as an artist, filmmaker, photographer, collector, author, and designer. Beginning in the 1950s as a commercial artist, he went on to produce work for exhibition in galleries and museums. The range of his efforts soon expanded to the making of films, photography, video, and books. Warhol first came to public notice in the 1960s through works that drew on advertising,...

Terry Winters
The American artist Terry Winters (b 1949), known for his sensuously abstract paintings and drawings, is also a distinguished printmaker. He has explored a wide range of printing methods and techniques, including intaglio, lithography, screenprinting, woodcut, and linoleum cut, and has worked at such notable print ateliers as Universal Limited Art Editions in West Islip, New York, and the Aldo Crommelynck studio in Paris. Winters's early works, sometimes described as organic abstraction, resonate with echoes of the natural world, while his more recent prints contain layered abstract fields that address how consciousness relates to visual form. This catalogue, accompanying a retrospective exhibition of Winters's prints, will consist of a short essay, a selected bibliography, and a checklist of approximately 90 works. The prints, all from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum, will be on display from 12th June to 30th September 2001.
