Summary:

This volume, published to commemorate the museum's sixty-fifth anniversary, reflects the special qualities of the Addison Gallery and the outstanding quality and breadth of its holdings. Now numbering over 12,000 works, the Addison's collection includes significant American paintings, prints, works on paper, sculpture, decorative arts, and photography by generations of artists from Colonial times to the present, among them Copley, Revere, Eakins, Homer, Whistler, Watkins, Muybridge, Prendergast, Sloan, Hopper, O'Keeffe, Sheeler, Hofmann, Calder, Bourke-White, Evans, Frank, Andre, Puryear, LeWitt, Judd, and Stella, to name a handful. Addison Gallery of American Art: 65 Years is the first extensive documentation of the museum and its collection. Essays by Susan C. Faxon, associate director and curator, Avis Berman, independent writer and art historian, and Jock Reynolds, director of the Addison, discuss the development of the Museum's collection, its relationship to contemporary artists, and its role as a teaching institution. The catalogue that follows focuses on over three hundred significant works from the collection and is fully illustrated in color and duotone. Brief discussions of more than ninety specific works in the catalogue were contributed by forty-seven nationally recognized scholars as well as curatorial staff members.
