Bryn Mawr, Penna: Avery Galleries, 2012. Softcover. VG. Color illus. wraps, 46 pp., many color illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2012 exhibition. "Many Philadelphians and Main Liners built magnificent collections of art and, in time, much of this work has found its way into the permanent collections of our local institutions. Upstart American artists vied with their well-established European counterparts for the patronage of these enthusiastic new collectors. A few found sympathic ears and open wallets. In these pages we share with you a few of their stories." (foreword). (Inventory #: 141471)
