Dust acket protected in a mylar cover. *** "A unique window into the anatomy and survival of an American institution with all its tribulations, intrigues, gossip, mini-dramas, and ultimatel…y its triumph. Until Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney opened her studio on Eighth Street in Manhattan in 1914 - which almost two decades later evolved into the Whitney Museum - contemporary American artists had little or no outlet for their work. Throughout the nineteenth century, as America expanded its borders from coast to coast, tilling the land and building industry were far greater priorities for Americans than art. Yet, especially in the latter half of the century, vast fortunes were amassed by many who built themselves extraordinary mansions that cried out to be embellished with works of art. In those days, however, the only place art was to be found and collected was Europe. American artists more often than not sought inspiration and recognition in Europe. Thus, at the dawn of the new century the relatively few museums and galleries in the United States focused primarily, if not exclusively, on foreign art. It was, therefore, all the more remarkable when Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, scion of America's wealthiest family and herself a sculptor, opened her own studio in Greenwich Village for exhibitions of contemporary American artists. After twenty-two years on Eighth Street, the Whitney moved uptown to Fifty-fourth Street next to the Museum of Modern Art. With the Whitney's ever expanding collection and growing attendance, space once again became an issue. When a desirable plot of land was located and purchased on Madison Avenue and Seventy-fifth Street in 1964, the famed architect Marcel Breuer was commissioned to build the new Whitney Museum. The imposing granite structure of the Whitney Museum of American Art, as we know it today, opened its doors in 1966 and has become one of America's most prominent cultural institutions. When Gertrude died in 1942, her daughter Flora Miller took over as head of the Whitney. Like her mother, she dedicated her all--her time and fortune--to the museum. In 1977, the third-generation Whitney woman, Flora Biddle, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's granddaughter, became president. As time went on, the size and scope of the Whitney and its increasing financial demands led it to pass from a family-run museum to a trustee-run business. The Whitney Women and the Museum They Made is a tale in which high ideals, extraordinary altruism, and great dedication increasingly come face to face with large egos, big business, intrigue, and the harsh realities of today's world. Flora Biddle's sensitive and insightful memoir is, despite all these obstacles and problems, a success story of three generations of forceful, indomitable women. / Flora Miller Biddle was president of the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1977 to 1995. She has four children. Her daughter, Fiona, following her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, has been elected to serve on the Whitney board of trustees. Flora and her husband, Sydney, live in New York City." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.

Hardcover. Limited to 1500 copies. Gray cloth inlaid with an image mounted on the covers. Over 100 pages, unpaginated. Color portrait images throughout. Commissioned for a husband's 80th birthday, this is a quite unusual and complex tribute to the couple by superimposing portraits in many ways. From the foreword: "The two faces,… dislocated and deformed to make a new coherence, do not represent a caricature of a face, but an eerie conglomeration. The Photographs make visible the hidden possibilities in a face, with hints of all that is potentially unknowable." VG, several small lighter spots and slight curve to front cover. O.w. near fine.

Age…d and worn dust jacket with extensive edgewear and sunned spine; torn along the front flap. -- In the years that immediately preceded the beginning of the Second World War and during the initial phase of the conflict itself, Poland was to play a central role in the tense drama of international affairs. Uncertain diplomats speculated on the policies the beleaguered nation would likely adopt once the full pressure of Hitler's Germany had been felt in Warsaw, where an ambivalent government was seen to vacillate between allegiance to the Western democracies and an apparent disposition to enter into partnership with the Third Reich. Alarmed political observers in Europe and elsewhere expressed deep concern and grave misgiving over the ability of the Polish political system, economy, and social structure to withstand the tremendous stress of supporting a major war effort. The selection of Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, Jr., as the ambassador of the United States to Poland signaled a significant increase in official American concern over the impending crisis. Although he was not a career diplomat, Biddle had been an extremely successful businessman, a leading personality in high social circles, and a close personal friend and political ally of the president. He served in Warsaw from the summer of 1937 until the outbreak of the war between Germany and Poland, when he accompanied the government on its flight into exile through Romania into France and finally to London.
