This is the second volume of a two-volume set that records the distinguished collection of late-nineteenth- and early-twentiety-century American sculpture in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The book presents nearly two hundred works by seventy sculptors. The sculptors include Paul Wayland Bartlett, Frances Grimes, Adolph Alexander Weinman, Bessie Potter Vannoh, James Earle Fraser, Gaston Lachaise, Max Weber, Elie Nadelman, Jose de Creeft, Paul Manship, and John Henry Bradley Storrs. A biography of each of the sculptors summarises the artist's life, and catalogue entries discuss each of the objects treated in this volume in terms of its subject and creation, its place in the artist's oeuvre, other extant versions of the work, and its complete exhibition history after it entered the Metropolitan's collection. The biographies and catalogue entries incorporate the very latest scholarship as well as the wealth of archival material at the Museum to present a brief but thorough and up-to-date documentation of each artist and work.

Received the WRONG book.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Sculpture in The Metropolitian Museum of Art: A Catalogue of Works by Artists Born Betweeen 1865 and 1885 (Hardcover)
The book I ordered - shown in the review request you sent - is
the book I ordered ISBN 0-87099-914-1 Vol. 1 American Sculpture in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. HOWEVER - the book I received was Vol.2. I decided to keep Vol. 2 but I still want Vol. 1. How am I going to get you to send me Vol. 1 if I reorder? I've sort of lost faith in your mailing dept.
