This volume surveys the history of Modern art, from the turn of the century to approximately 1970. A unique and unprecedented partnership between the Guggenheim Museum and the Musae national d'art moderne brings together more than 300 paintings, sculptures and drawings by over 150 artists, including Joseph Beuys, Jean Dubuffet, Max Ernst, Yves Klein, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock. The Musae and the Guggenheim represent two distinct kinds of museums: a public, government-run institution and a private museum. The former is one institution within a multidisciplinary cultural center; the latter has grown from a private collection of non-objective painting into a network of international museums of Modern and Contemporary art. One originally celebrated almost exclusively the Modern art produced in France, the other various abstract painters from the European avant-garde. Thus does Rendezvous allow a dialogue between two museums renowned for their contributions to the history of Modernism.

Big book for a little price,
By Colin Athens (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rendezvous: Masterpieces from the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Guggenheim Museums (Paperback)
I recently picked this up at the Guggenheim, and it's one of my favorite books I have on 20th-century art.Pros: Encompasses some of the more obscure pieces from the artists Cheap, cheap price ($10 at the Guggenheim for the paperback) Not text-heavy, but the intro text is definitely worth reading Minimalist layout Cons: Very heavy, but is still suitable for a coffee table or an entertainment center For such a heavy book, the cover could be a little thicker I have never seen the hardcover version of this, and I am most certain paperback is the only option Some of the more notable pieces come from: Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, Delaunay, Kupka, Leger, Duchamp, Brancusi, Malevich, Kandinsky, Klee, Mondrian, Ernst, Magritte, Dali, Giacometti, Miro, Calder, Pollock, Rothko, de Kooning, Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg, Johns, Warhol, Kline
