"Marking an important moment in the Art Institute of Chicago's 136-year history, this
book documents an exceptional gift to the museum: the Edlis/Neeson Collection, consisting
of 44 stellar works of contemporary art. Among the highlights are major paintings
by some of the 20th century's best-known artists, including Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein,
Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Cy Twombly, and Andy Warhol. Also included in
the gift are paintings, photographs, and sculptures by icons of contemporary art such
as Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, and Cindy Sherman. This catalogue places the Edlis/Neeson
Collection in direct dialogue with works already in the Art Institute's holdings.
An essay by James Rondeau situates the gift in the context of the museum's history
and uses it to illustrate the growth and development of Pop Art. Most importantly,
this book celebrates a transformative gift that allows the Art Institute to claim
the most important collection of modern and contemporary art in any encyclopedic institution
in the world"
