The Making of the Morgan from Charles McKim to Renzo Piano, 1st Ed

About the Item

The Making of the Morgan from Charles McKim to Renzo Piano by Paul Spencer Byard, Cynthia Davidson and Charles E Pierce, Jr. W. W. Norton & Company, 2008. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. With the 2006 opening of its expansion designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, The Morgan Library and Museum in New York began a new chapter in its history. This is an illustrated chronicle of the one-hundred-year transformation of a rarefied private library into an acclaimed public museum. The contributors assess Pierpont Morgan's vision for his personal library, provide historical context for its public evolution and examine the process of the expansion; and in an interview, Piano discusses his role. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
