Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Published in conjunction with the landmark 1994 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, Masterpieces from the David and Peggy Rockefeller Collection: Manet to Picasso presents a tightly curated selection of modern European masterworks drawn from one of the most influential private collections of the twentieth century. Designed under the direction of Michael Hentges and printed in Italy, the volume is notable for its refined production values: generous margins, luminous color plates, and a restrained modernist layout that mirrors MoMA's curatorial ethos. Edited by Christopher Lyon with commentary by Kirk Varnedoe, the catalogue includes works by Manet, Monet, Cezanne, Gauguin, Matisse, Derain, Braque, and Picasso, alongside contextual essays by David Rockefeller and Richard E. Oldenburg. The clothbound book remains in Fine condition, with a clean, tight binding, bright unmarked pages, and sharp gilt titling; the dust jacket is Near Fine, showing only the slightest handling.
