Treasures of the Detroit Institute of Arts cover

A testament to the Detroit Institute of Arts’ rich and diverse collection, this impressive catalogue brings together a selection of the museum’s masterworks in American, European, African, Asian, Native American, Oceanic, Islamic, ancient, modern and contemporary, and graphic arts. The artworks, organized geographically, are showcased in more than 400 color illustrations. Among the notable works are Vincent van Gogh’s Self-Portrait; James McNeill Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket; Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s The Wedding Dance; Diego Rivera’s Detroit Industry murals; a magnificent palace door by the Yoruban artist Olówè of Isè; and a rare ewer produced by the Medici Grand Ducal workshops, one of only 59 surviving works of Medici porcelain known to exist. This lavish volume brings the distinction of the Detroit Institute of Arts’ encyclopedic collection to the larger public.
