Sale - The Clark Brothers Collect Impressionist and Early Modern Paintings

	By Michael Conforti, James A. Ganz, Neil Harris, Sarah Lees, and Gilbert T. Vincent, with contributions by Daniel Cohen-McFall, Mari Yoko Hara, Susannah Maurer, Kathleen M. Morris, Kathryn Price, Richard Rand, and Marc Simpson. Published in conjunction with the exhibition “Impressionist and Early Modern Paintings: The Clark Brothers Collect” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, May 22–August 19, 2007. Sterling and Stephen Clark, brothers and heirs to the Singer sewing machine fortune, amassed two of the most important art collections of the early 20th century. While they shared a love for art, the brothers’ preferences and collecting habits varied considerably. Sterling was an astute self-taught private collector, whose collection included 39 Renoirs and several works by such American artists as Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Frederic Remington, and Mary Cassatt—works that went on to form the distinguished collection of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Stephen, an influential businessman and Museum trustee, donated many of the important works he collected to public institutions including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Yale University Art Gallery. Among his collection are landmark modern works by such masters as Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Edward Hopper, and Vincent van Gogh. This meticulously researched volume allows for these two exceptional collections to be examined together for the first time. Detailed biographical essays are complemented by discussions of specific artists and paintings that Sterling and Stephen collected, offering new insights into the brothers’ personal lives and public profiles, and situating them within the history of American museums and philanthropy. 369 pages, 343 illustrations (213 in full color), 9 3/4 in. x 11 1/2 in.
