The Phoenix Art Museum is one of the leading cultural institutions of the Southwest, drawing visitors from all over the country. This gloriously illustrated volume is the first in-depth presentation of some 300 treasures from this major American museum, which boasts splendid American and Western American, European, Modern and Contemporary, Latin American, and Fashion Design collections, as well as an Asian art collection that is world famous. Monet's Flowering Arches, Giverny (an intimate view of the artist's favorite spot in his gardens for sitting and reflecting); Frida Kahlo's Suicide of Dorothy Hale; Shen Quan's Album of Birds and Animals; and Louise Nevelson's Royal Tide V are among the works featured. All are illuminated by new scholarship, and most have been specially photographed for this volume.
