Beginning with a preface by Gail A. Pearson and an Introduction (with acknowledgements) by James N. Wood, Notable Acquisitions At The Art Institute Of Chicago is divided into five major categories: American Arts; Architecture; Asian Art; European Painting; Prints and Drawings. Enhanced with superb illustrations and three pages of extensive notes, Notable Acquisitions At The Art Institute Of Chicago is both a recommended "stand alone" introduction to the holdings of this outstanding Chicago-based collection, but also a worthy example of the academic quality of the Museum Studies series which will leave art patrons and librarians looking forward to their "Victorian Art" spring issue and "Symbolist Art" fall issue.
