Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hidden Treasures at the National Gallery: A Selection of Studies and Drawings The conditions were very simple. They were that the pictures (1) should be kept to gether, (2) in a room or rooms to be added to the National Gallery, and called Turner's Gallery. This was to be built within ten years; if it was not built, then the pictures were to go elsewhere. His will and meaning was, he wrote, that either the nation should comply with this condition, or not have the pictures at all. The artist's motive was not personal vanity. He conceived his works in groups, and he had a passionate desire that they should be kept together. In no other way could the ideas he had in his mind be communicated to the spectator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe there are scores of beautiful and unusual works of art that are largely unseen or fail to receive the critical acclaim they deserve. Why? The Best Art You've Never Seen restores to view 100 wonderful treasures of world art. Ranging from Peru to Papua New Guinea, it uncovers neglected wonders in offbeat corners of the world or locked away in the store rooms of the world's great museums. Some are hidden accidentally: by a rock-fall, a shift in a trade route, or through the drift of history. Others are hidden deliberately, buried as loot or destroyed by hate - like the fabulous Mount Kailash Temple in India. Many are hidden by changes of taste, marginalized because they don't fit into established ideas of art - works by artists such as Norman Rockwell, Nek Chand, and Niki de St Phalle. Other great works, like the the dazzling Très Riches Heures manuscript and the Mona Lisa, are being virtually hidden by the demands of conservation. And there are penty of treasures still waiting to be revealed - the Q'in Emperor's tomb or Leonardo's lost fresco The Battle of Anghiari. Author and former museum director Julian Spalding takes you into a world of beautiful and arresting artifacts and reveals their amazing stories. He sets forth a surprising and unfamiliar alternative canon of works that offers a fresh and controversial take on the world of art.

Book excerpt: This handsome tribute to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. traces the history of the museum from conception to construction on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary. Opened with great fanfare, the National Gallery was "the richest single gift from any individual to any nation ever." That individual was financier Andrew Mellon. Kopper's succinct biography covers Mellon's personal and political life as well as his passion for collecting the paintings of old masters. Mellon's bequest stipulated the museum's name, location, and details of governance, ensuring continued high standards and a vital future. Kopper includes profiles of the architect and various museum directors, including Mellon's son Paul, as well as illustrations that document some of the collection's highlights.
