    The curators of the American Wing, with an introduction by Morrison H. Heckscher and H. Barbara Weinberg (2002)

    The American Wing is a favorite destination for the Metropolitan's visitors, so I am particularly pleased that, once again, there is in print a handy and dependable guide to its treasures.

    Nineteenth-Century America: Paintings and Sculpture

    Howat, John K., and Natalie Spassky, with an introduction by John K. Howat and John Wilmerding (1970)

    Because the Metropolitan Museum is in great measure the creation of the American painters, sculptors, and architects prominent at the time of its founding, it is wholly appropriate that in celebration of the Centennial we announce our firm intent to develop a new and vastly enlarged American Wing, which will enable us to show the best paintings and sculpture as well as the finest of the decorative arts produced by America's artists from the seventeenth century to the present. The exhibition Nineteenth-Century America, a superb suite of formal galleries of paintings and sculpture, p...
