Description

"Travels in the Labyrinth: Mexican Art in the Pollak Collection is the catalogue of a private collection of representative works from a century of Mexican art by 46 painters and sculptors born between 1871 and 1940. A major portion of the collection will be exhibited in a show opening at the University of Pennsylvania's Arthur Ross Gallery. The exhibition will travel to other venues, including the Naples Museum of Art, Florida, and the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University.". "The 87 contemporary paintings, drawings, and sculpture include works by Los Tres Grandes, the three great Mexican artists of the twentieth century: Diego de Rivera, David Alfaro Siquieras, and Jose Clemente Orozco. Also reproduced in full color are 19 ex votos - naive works painted in oils on wood and dedicated to the patron saint responsible for delivering the subject from danger."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

The art of collecting is so singular and complex that the strategy involved cannot always be explained in rational terms.
