The
W. Hawkins Ferry Collection
Jan van der Marck and W. Hawkins Ferry |
|
The
name W. Hawkins Ferry has become synonymous with the modern collections
of the Detroit Institute of Arts. His remarkable eye for quality and enthusiasm
for Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and fine contemporary sculpture
have brought into the museum examples of the work of the most significant
artists of our times, among them Arp, Calder, Gabo, Kline, Miró,
Moholy-Nagy, Moore, Motherwell, Newman, and Rauschenberg.
This catalog documents an exhibition held in 1987
that brought together the extraordinary collection of W. Hawkins Ferry,
enriched by loans from his private collection. Also included is a history
of the Friends of Modern Art written by Ferry himself. |
