Picasso, van Gogh, and Gauguin are just three of the artists whose extraordinary works comprise the Thannhauser Collection. Bequeathed to the Guggenheim Museum by Justin K. and Hilde Thannhauser, the collection includes important works of the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early Modern periods, with thirty-two works by Picasso alone.
In addition to the impeccable reproductions of every work in the collection, this book includes informative documentation by art historian Vivian Endicott Barnett, who also tells the fascinating story of Thannhauser's role in the European art world before fleeing Nazi Germany. Thannhauser, whose father founded the famous Moderne Galerie in Munich, where the Blue Rider group premiered and Picasso was given his first major exhibition, was among the leading collectors and dealers of art in prewar Europe.
Essays by Paul Tucker, the renowned author of many books on Impressionism, and Fred Licht, Curator of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, provide insights into these beloved masterpieces while placing them in an art-historical context.
