Big book for a little price, Jan 20 2012
By Colin Athens - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rendezvous: Masterpieces from the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Guggenheim Museums (Paperback)
I recently picked this up at the Guggenheim, and it's one of my favorite books I have on 20th-century art.
Pros:
Encompasses some of the more obscure pieces from the artists
Cheap, cheap price ($10 at the Guggenheim for the paperback)
Not text-heavy, but the intro text is definitely worth reading
Minimalist layout
Cons:
Very heavy, but is still suitable for a coffee table or an entertainment center
For such a heavy book, the cover could be a little thicker
I have never seen the hardcover version of this, and I am most certain paperback is the only option
Some of the more notable pieces come from:
Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, Delaunay, Kupka, Leger, Duchamp, Brancusi, Malevich,
Kandinsky, Klee, Mondrian, Ernst, Magritte, Dali, Giacometti, Miro, Calder, Pollock,
Rothko, de Kooning, Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg, Johns, Warhol, Kline
