Masterpieces from the William Rubin Collection
An intimate look into the private collection of the legendary MoMA curator This volume documents the art collection of MoMA curator William Rubin (1927-2006) and his impact on modern art in the US. Renowned as Director of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art from 1967 to 1988, Rubin was recognized for his unprecedented acquisitions for MoMA's collection and the groundbreaking exhibitions that showcased them, which were accompanied by monographs that have become essential art historical reading.
