Summary

There is an "Art Boom" going on in the USA and Europe and nowhere is it greater that in New York City. Although art works have enormous emotional and intellectual appeal they are the most difficult and time-consuming sight-seeing; they don't reveal their meaning easily, and thousands of them can be displayed in one museum. Some explanation is needed for the art works that most museum-goers want and expect to see, which this art guide does in a style that is easy to read and use. * quality paperback, 5x7 1/4", 300 pages, 10 ounces, lightweight, durable, fits easily into pocket or purse * gives information on hours of admission and facilities * provides room-by-room guides through the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Frick Museum, Whitney Museum, Guggenheim Museum, and Metropolitan Museum of Art * identifies and discusses over 358 works of art and the 152 artists who created them * provides exclusive "Brevi Tours" to give museum-goers the opportunity to shorten time spent in galleries
