About the Item

The Clark Brothers Collect Impressionists and Early Modern Painting Hardcover Coffee Table Book. Michael Conforti, Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.) Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 2006 - Art - 369 pages. Michael Conforti, James A. Ganz, Neil Harris, Sarah Lees, and Gilbert T. Vincent With additional contributions by Daniel Cohen-McFall, Mari Yoko Hara, Susannah Maurer, Kathleen M. Morris, Kathryn Price, Richard Rand, and Marc Simpson. Brothers Sterling and Stephen Clark--heirs to the Singer sewing machine fortune--were among the twentieth century's most influential art collectors. This volume examines their magnificent collections, their personal lives and public profiles, and their significant roles in the history of American museums. While the brothers shared a love for great art, they collected in different ways. Sterling was a private collector; his French Impressionist masterpieces, including thirty-eight Renoirs, and works by such American artists as Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Frederic Remington, and Mary Cassatt now form the distinguished collection of the Clark. Stephen, a businessman and museum trustee, acquired modern works by such masters as Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh, often with specific museum collections in mind--including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Yale University Art Gallery. Handsomely produced, this book features over two hundred illustrations of the works from Sterling's and Stephen's collections. It also includes essays by distinguished scholars, an illustrated chronology, and a previously unpublished checklist of works purchased by Stephen Clark. Published in association with the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute Exhibition Schedule: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (May 22 - August 19, 2007) Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts (June 4 - September 4, 2006). 384 pages, 10 1/2 x 11.25 inches 149 color, 64 quadratone, and 130 halftone illustrations Published: 2006 Published by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, and distributed by Yale University Press, New Haven and London.
