About This Item
Washington, D.C.: The Phillips Collection / Yale University Press, 2011. Hardcover. VG. Color pictorial boards, translucent mylar dust jacket, 136 pp., many color illus. Issued in conjunction with several 2011-2012 exhibitions of a single work by Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944). "Builds on the grwoing body of scholarship in the field while taking a focused approach toward a single work: Painting with White Border, 1913. The exhibition reunites this masterpiece from the Guggenheim's collection with Kandinsky's first oil study from The Phillips Collection and a second oil sketch from the State Russian Museum. It also brings together more than a dozen related studies in pen, pencil, ink, and watercolor, as well as related works in various media. What more can we learn about Kandinsky by delving deeply into one masterpiece and reuniting it for the first time with its related studies? How can the interweaving of conservation and art historical research aid our inquiry?" (foreword) Look here for the intriguing answers.
