Synopsis
Sister Wendy Beckett has been dubbed a "pop star" by the New York Times and "a phenomenon" by the Washington Post. She is certainly one of the world's best-known and best-loved art critics, familiar to millions from her wildly popular art series on PBS. In Sister Wendy's American Collection, she visits six of America's most prestigious museums: the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City), the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, Massachusetts), the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Kimbell Art Museum (Fort Worth, Texas), and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In each, Sister Wendy chooses a wide variety of artpaintings, sculpture, porcelain figures-and draws attention to the small details of the work, revealing hidden meanings and symbolism. She relates the background of the artist and explains the techniques and the histories behind each work in a straightforward language that speaks to all with humor and insight. More than 250 full-color illustrations illuminate Sister Wendy's text. Sister Wendy's American Collection is a wonderful tour of six great American museums -- it is also the equivalent of taking a personal tour with Sister Wendy, studying and enjoying her favorite pieces of art, chosen from across the whole breadth of history to the present. It is a fascinating journey, one that can be taken again and again. Sister Wendy's American Collection is soon to be a PBS miniseries.

    Item as described - though listed as used, but it really appeared like a new item that I could find at a retail bookstore. Item packed without issue upon arriving, it was mailed quickly and it arrived much sooner than expected. The transaction went well. I'm happy with the item, and I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

    I would say it was as described, but it was actually even better than expected, really lovely item and came very well-packed for shipping. Lots of care taken in the handling for shipping. Price for both item and shipping cost were more than fair. I have a recipe book that came out two years after this one by the same publisher. My grandmother used it as a regular go-to cookbook her whole life & then it came to me & I still use it too. Very excited to now have this companion volume to go with it!
