Synopsis
This volume celebrates the scholarly and curatorial vision of Kirk Varnedoe (1946-2003). As Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, N.Y. Varnedoe was one of the most distinguished curators in the United States, and as Professor of Fine Arts at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts, a famously dynamic teacher. The nineteen essays, written by Varnedoe's most distinguished doctoral students (now noted art historians in their own right), highlight the wide range of subjects in 19th- and 20th-century art introduced in his pedagogy. Several derive from the collaboration of their authors with Dr. Varnedoe on major exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and elsewhere and offer new insight into these projects. The volume includes introductory essays by the editors and by Varnedoe's colleagues Robert Storr and Robert Rosenblum as well as a full bibliography of Varnedoe's writings.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP). Signed and Inscribed ('With many thanks') by Gertje R. Utley on the title page. Once listed I believe it will be the only Signed Copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. As you can see from the photographs, the covers of this large book are in excellent condition, spotless and with only very minor wear (a crease at the top of the spine). The corners and edges of the covers are in perfect condition, the silver lettering on the spine perfect as well. And the book, despite its size, is very solidly bound, without any issues. Add to that, the fact that the pages are exceptionally clean (as are the page edges) and you have a very beautiful book. Excepting the editor's signed inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. There aren't any markings or attachments. And I didn't see any creases or dogeared corners. The pages are nicely quite bright and there are a good many beautiful color illustrations (also b&w). You can see the dust jacket in the first few photographs. It is NOT clipped. It is very clean (a couple of speck sized spots on the rear) and has only minimal wear (a crease near the top of the spine). There are no tears. The dust jacket will be fitted with a protective cover. John Kirk Train Varnedoe (January 18, 1946 - August 14, 2003) was an American art historian, the Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art from 1988 to 2001, Professor of the History of Art at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and Professor of Fine Arts at the New York University Institute of Fine Arts. (I'll take the opportunity to shamelessly advertise another book I have for sale, entirely separate from this one, by mentioning that the Jacket Illustration on this book is by Chuck Close, a self-portrait. This other book is titled 'Chuck Close Recent Works: October 22 to November 27, 1993' and is Signed & Inscribed by Chuck Close). I hope that doesn't confuse you. Inscribed by Author(s).
