Softcover
1972 · New York
New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1972. Softcover. VG, VG with ever so slight sunning to spine and one barely-noticeable museum library stamp. White covers with white blind-stamped decoration (the same on both); 153 pp. with no illustrations and 32 pp. with color and bw illustrations throughout, respectively. The Centennial Celebration (smaller book) was published first to entice the public to attend the celebratory exhibitions (New York Painting and Sculpture, 1940-1970; The Year 1200; 19th-Century America; Before Cortes - Sculpture of Middle America; Masterpieces of Fifty Centuries) and with information about upcoming changes to the museum in its next phase. The History of the Centennial Celebration tells just that, including an extensive review of each exhibition held, calendar of centennial events, and much, much more. (Inventory #: 118984)
