Description

Home to one of the oldest and most distinguished collections in Florida, a new catalogue for the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College has long been overdue. This beautifully designed volume celebrates the Museum’s broad and eclectic holdings. It provides an in-depth look into a small number of works chosen from more than 5,500 items that include Old Masters, photography and works on paper, American and European paintings, 20th-century works and an exciting new contemporary collection, as well as objects, artifacts and archaeological fragments from world cultures.

The selection featured in the pages of this book – the first collection catalogue in 25 years – offers one possible reading of the many transhistorical conversations proposed by this extraordinary assembly.
