This visually exciting book presenting a selection of signature
works by European and American artists of the postwar generations,
is drawn from the UBS Art Collection, one of the richest and most
varied holdings of international contemporary art in the United
States. The Collection was begun in 1970 by Donald B. Marron, UBS's
American Chairman, a Vice Chairman and former President of the
Museum, and a Trustee of the Museum since 1975. This unique
publication accompanies an exhibition of 74 of these outstanding
works of art, including 44 works that were a gift to the Museum in
2002. The works reproduced here include paintings, sculptures,
drawings, photographs, and mixed-media works by a wide and varied
array of important artists, including Joseph Beuys, Chuck Close,
Jasper Johns, Anselm Kiefer, Brice Marden, Robert Rauschenberg,
Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and others. In
addition, Ann Temkin, Curator in the Department of Painting and
Sculpture, has interviewed 11 of these artists for the book,
producing illuminating conversations about how they work, the
origins of their ideas, and other topics. The artists interviewed
include Vija Celmins, Damien Hirst, Susan Rothenberg, Ed Ruscha,
Robert Ryman and Lorna Simpson. Finally, the book also contains an
interview with Donald B. Marron by Glenn Lowry, Director of The
Museum of Modern Art.
