Butler Institute of American Art Publishes Second Major Art History Volume Highlighting the Museum’s Permanent Collection

July 29, 2010 – 10:38 amNo Comment

Youngstown – Masterworks from The Butler Institute of American Art, a three year effort by Butler staff, contains full color reproductions of one hundred sixty of Butler’s most beloved works.

Recent acquisitions, including the Butler’s new Jackson Pollock and Norman Rockwell paintings, are included in this stunning, 416 page volume, printed in the USA by City Printing Company of Youngstown. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the Pollock Personal Foundation of Youngstown, and many other generous contributors, this catalogue is a beautiful reflection of the historic Butler Institute, a source of pride for our Ohio community since its founding in 1919.

Designed by art catalogue designer David Hayes (Oneonta, New York) and exquisitely produced utilizing high definition digital photographs taken by Joseph P. Rudinec (Boardman, Ohio), each Butler image is accompanied by a scholarly essay by art authorities from around the globe.

Masterworks from The Butler Institute of American Art is available for purchase exclusively in the Museum Gift Shop in Youngstown.
