Making History Matter: The New-York Historical Society's Vision for the Twenty-First Century
Much has changed since the New-York Historical Society's founding in 1804, including the cultural landscape of New York City. In 2004, as part of its bicentennial celebrations, the N-YHS decided to return to its founding mission, which centered around “the history of the United States in general.” The main unoccupied niche among cultural institutions in New York was American history; the N-YHS would use New York as a lens. This change occasioned debate and discussion in many quarters. But most consequential of all, it led to a new strategic plan and a $100 million capital campaign. The result can be seen in the N-YHS's breathtaking new setting for the story of New York and the nation, with visible evidence that history has the power to change lives.

Unique by design : contemporary jewelry in the Donna Schneier Collection
\"Studio jewelry dissolves the modern distinction between decorative and fine arts. The 60 pieces in this lively volume, collected by Donna Schneier and donated to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, were created primarily from the early 1960s to the present day and show a fluid engagement with various traditions in jewelry-making--from old masterworks to contemporary pieces--as well as various 20th-century art movements such as Conceptual art, Arte Povera, and Surrealism. Unique by Design draws attention to these dazzling small works of art, most of which have never before been published. Although these pieces incorporate a variety of materials, ranging from the precious to the ordinary, they share some common traits that reflect the collector's tastes: wit, elegance, fantasy, imagination, social observation, and technical virtuosity. Above all, these works were made to be worn and to create a dynamic engagement with a body.\" -- Publisher's website.

Cubism : the Leonard A. Lauder Collection
This new history of Cubism, based on works from the most significant private collection in the world today, is written by many of the field's premier art historians and scholars. The collection, recently donated to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, includes 80 works by Picasso, Braque, Gris and Leger and is unsurpassed in the number of masterpieces and iconic pieces deemed critical to the development of Cubism. Twenty-two essays explore various facets of Cubism from its origins and consider small groupings of works in light of specific themes - such as a study by neuropsychiatrist Eric Kandel on Cubism and the science of perception. Also included is an interview in which Lauder discusses his approach to collecting.
