Synopsis
William S. Paley, founder of CBS, Inc., and a towering figure in the modern entertainment, communication and news industries, was also an enthusiastic collector of twentieth-century art and a committed supporter of The Museum of Modern Art. This volume presents his extraordinary collection of 84 paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings by some of the most important figures of modern art, including Paul Cézanne, André Derain, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, bequeathed to the Museum in one of the most significant transfers of a private collection to a public institution at the time. Aside from loans made to MoMA exhibitions, his collection was seldom seen by the public until it was left to the William S. Paley Foundation for donation to the Museum. Originally published in 1992 for a series of traveling exhibitions organized by MoMA, this volume has been completely redesigned for this new edition., William S.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (6,375)
- u***b (820)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItems as described and depicted. Fast shipping in a padded envelope. Oddly, the knife and fork were not wrapped individually before dumping them in the padded mailer. It's hard to imagine the extra cost in time or money that a two-minute investment in wrapping each piece separately would have entailed, but I would have appreciated it.
- i***x (3957)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePerfect transaction, great seller , packed with care, shipping was fast, quality and description of items was correct, dishes are like new after over 50 years, price was great with discounted shipping on multiple items and returned postage costs from this honest seller. Would buy again, with no hesitation.
- b***3 (35)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe plates were well packaged, but one broke in transit. The seller was responded quickly and has already shipped another plate. I would definitely buy from her again. The plates were in very good condition - looked like new. The price was excellent for these items as well.
