Arms and Armor: Notable Acquisitions 1991–2002

	By Stuart W. Pyhrr, Donald J. LaRocca, and Morihiro Ogawa, 2002. Published in conjunction with the exhibition "Arms and Armor: Notable Acquisitions 1991–2002" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, September 4, 2002–June 29, 2003. This publication chronicles more than a decade of collecting by the Department of Arms and Armor at the Metropolitan Museum. The refurbished galleries in The Pierpont Morgan Wing opened in 1991 with a new presentation of about eleven hundred of the finest pieces from the Museum's encyclopedic collection, and since that time the department's holdings have continued to grow, with more than one hundred and fifty items added by purchase, gift, or bequest. This volume includes fifty-eight of the most notable acquisitions. Many are remarkable for their diversity and extraordinary quality, condition, and beauty, and some for their artistic or historic importance, while others fill gaps or serve as documents, adding to the knowledge of this field of study. 64 pages, 76 illustrations (47 in full color), 8 1/2 in. x 11 in.
