by Takahashi, Akiya (ed.) and Richard Glanton (Preface)
Tokyo: The Yomiuri Shimbun, 1993. Softcover. NF. Color wraps with white lettering on orange spine. 318 pp. Bw and color plates. Text in Japanese. Catalogue which accompanied the exhibition held at the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo, from 22 January to 3 April, 1994. A ground-breaking event for the Barnes, this was the first exhibition to which any paintings from the Barnes collection were lent to another museum. This was forbidden in Dr. Barnes's directives, but the restriction was lifted to give others around the world an opportunity to see these magnificent works and to raise money for the renovation of the Barnes facilities. Includes 80 works of art, full-page, with descriptions; two essays: Dr. Barnes and the Modern French Painting and The Birth of the Modern Collection - Albert C. Barnes and his Collection; the catalogue; biographies of artsts; and a list of works. (Inventory #: 141057)
