| Summary: | "International Art Galleries is the first book to examine the modern gallery phenomenon, offering over seventy-five portraits of art galleries from around the world. The galleries profiled have represented the finest artists of the last sixty years and have played a key role in defining the artistic zeitgeist. Organized decade-by-decade, each chapter is introduced by a brief historical sketch summarizing the social background of the decade in question. The galleries, which are assigned to the eras in which they enjoyed their greatest influence with the public, are introduced by a factual section detailing their foundation, proprietor, address and the artists represented, followed by a lively illustrated essay." "Lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs of artists, dealers and art world luminaries, this comprehensive history of the modern gallery system offers an intriguing and engaging new slant on the development of art since 1945."--BOOK JACKET. |
