Paperback, 244 pp., 70 color and 145 black-and-white illus.
ISBN 978-0-52025-240-0
Catalogue for the exhibition, organized by the Williams College Museum of Art, and presented at the Yale University Art Gallery (February 26–May 4, 2008)
Making It New: The Art and Style of Sara and Gerald Murphy is a captivating collection of essays and images that examines the couple's relationships with some of the pivotal figures in avant-garde circles in Paris in the 1920s. Their legendary style—modern in its apparent simplicity and freedom from stifling social regimentation—was a touchstone for many artists, writers, and musicians of the period. The book also explores Gerald Murphy's abbreviated career as a painter, his artistic legacy, and the complex nature of his motivation and vision. This beautifully illustrated volume features artwork by Gerald Murphy, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray and many others. Edited by art historian Deborah Rothschild, with essays by Calvin Tomkins, Trevor Winkfield, and Olivia Mattis.Item# 135

Modern Gothic: The Revival of Medieval Art
Paper, 96 pp., hundreds of black-and-white and color illus.
ISBN 0-89467-090-5
Catalogue for the exhibition, organized by Susan B. Matheson, presented at the Yale University Art Gallery (April 4–July 30, 2000), with essays by Matheson and Derek D. Churchill.
This catalogue focuses on the mid-nineteenth-century Gothic Revival in British and American architecture. Churchill tracks the movement’s ascendancy in England, where adherents strove to prove “that the Middle Ages were not the Dark Ages, but rather a Golden Age.” Matheson explores social and historical issues raised by the revitalization in churches, college campuses, and homes in the northeastern United States. Ample photographs and plans reveal the many facets of Gothic.
