About the Book
Established in 1966 as the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, in 1974 the collection moved to a purpose-built museum designed by Gordon Bunshaft. It is now the primary collection of contemporary art and culture in America, and seeks to enhance public understanding and appreciation of contemporary art through acquisitions, exhibitions, educational programmes and research. Each of the 30 works in this brand new book has been chosen as a highlight of this remarkable collection, and will appeal to art lovers of all age
