Description: The Paine-Webber art collection, housed in the Paine Webber offices in Manhattan, is home to one of the greatest private collections of contemporary art. Never before publicly exhibited or published, this private collection offers a remarkable survey of international art of the past forty-five years.

While the collection includes a number of works by such well-established artists as Georg Baselitz, Louise Bourgeois, Jasper Johns, Anselm Kiefer, and Cy Twombly, there is also a strong focus on the artists of the 1980s - Cindy Sherman, David Salle, and Francesco Clemente - as well as on younger emerging artists, such as Gunther Forg, Guillermo Kuitca, Lorna Simpson, and Kiki Smith.

This volume encompasses more than 350 works of art, many never before published. Each work is augmented by a companion text that serves to contextualize and explicate the work and the artist. In addition, there are several special commissions included by artists including Susan Rothenberg and Frank Stella. Photographs by noted artist Louise Lawler depict the installation of the art works as viewed every day by Paine-Webber employees.
