| book description |

When Justin K. Thannhauser (1892â€“1976) brought his collection of modern art to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1965, it was his crowning achievement after more than a half century as one of Europeâ€™s most influential and distinguished collectors and dealers. The collectionâ€™s formal bequeathal to the Guggenheim in 1978 represents a watershed moment for the museum â€“ today its Thannhauser Collection constitutes the core of the Guggenheimâ€™s Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and School of Paris holdings, including thirty-two works by Pablo Picasso. This lavishly illustrated volume presents the astonishing collection in full, offering a concentrated survey of works by such modern masters as Georges Braque, Paul CÃ©zanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Ã‰douard Manet, Picasso, Camille Pissarro, and Vincent van Gogh, among others. Throughout, artworks are given rich context and detail with historical installation views and high-tech conservation images. Short essays on collection highlights by current and former Guggenheim curators and conservators illuminate the artistsâ€™ stylistic innovations as they sought to liberate art from academic genres and techniques. The book also features extensive technical analyses, offering rare insight into the artistsâ€™ materials and processes based on the latest advances in conservation technology. A lead essay by Megan Fontanella recounts the genesis of Thannhauserâ€™s collection and its eventual transfer to the Guggenheim Museum.
