This book is a glorious celebration of Rhoda Pritzker's collection
of 20th-century British art, much of which has been donated to the
Yale Center for British Art. Pritzker, who was born in Manchester
in1914 and emigrated to the United States during the Blitz, was an
avid and daring collector of paintings, sculptures, and drawings.
Keen to support artists whose reputations were still emerging, and
loyal to no single school or style, she developed a unique and
impressively diverse collection. While Pritzker most actively
purchased pieces in the 1950s and 1960s, her collection offers a
fascinating window onto postwar artistic production. Beautifully
illustrated, this catalogue features a number of unpublished works
and archival materials. Among the artists discussed are key
figures, including L. S. Lowry, Barbara Hepworth, Anthony Caro, and
Henry Moore, as well as lesser-known artists. The texts elucidate
the factors that made Pritzker's method of collecting so
singular-namely her relationship to an evolving transatlantic
artistic community and the deeply personal nature of the works she
procured. Distributed for the Yale Center for British Art
