"Each of the four volumes, which can stand alone, is well produced, reasonably priced, and replete with high-quality black-and-white and color plates. The set presents the consistency and wide appeal of a survey while at the same time providing individually focused and methodologically explicit essays in the form of chapters on specialized topics relating to limited periods of time. The intellectual integrity that permeates each volume, the excellent production qualities, and the overall superb quality of this specialized survey of modern art�all recommend this set highly for academic collections and for large public library collections emphasizing modern and contemporary European and American art."�Choice.
