Item description from seller

A rich purple hardcover book with the title written in white along the spine. There is a red dust jacket with the title typed on the front in white. The spine is gray with typed white lettering. Pages: (6), 7-374, (2). Profusely illustrated with many black-and-white images, as well as several color plates. Written in German. "Dieses Buch unternimmt es, die Bestände der Neuen Pinakothek im Jahr 1868 - zum Zeitpunkt des Todes ihres Gründers - zu rekonstruieren und anschaulich vorzustellen. Den wichtigsten Teil bildet die fotografische und archivalische Dokumentation der etwa 430 damals ausgestellten Werke: eine kriminalistische Meisterleistung angesichts der Tatsache, dass Sammlungsbestände an andere Institutionen überstellt oder veräußert wurden, Bilder verschollen oder zerstört sind. Den historischen Zusammenhang umreißen drei Essays: zu Ludwig I. als Mäzen und Patron der Künste, zum Bildprogramm am Außenbau der Neuen Pinakothek, zur Genese der Sammlungen sowie zu ihrer einstigen Präsentation." ["This book attempts to reconstruct and vividly present the holdings of the Neue Pinakothek in 1868 - at the time of the death of its founder. The most important part is the photographic and archival documentation of the approximately 430 works on display at that time: a forensic masterpiece in view of the fact that collection holdings were transferred to other institutions or sold, and paintings were lost or destroyed. The historical context is outlined in three essays: on Ludwig I as a patron and patron of the arts, on the pictorial program on the exterior of the Neue Pinakothek, on the genesis of the collections and on their former presentation."]. VG+: A copy in excellent condition that looks as though it was rarely, if ever, taken off the shelf. A clean dust jacket with no tears and crisp edges.…
