Building a Masterpiece: Milwaukee Art Museum

This coffee table-sized art book, a reprint of the original 2001 edition, offers readers a lavishly-illustrated look at the Milwaukee Art Museum's new wing unveiled in 2001--the unique Quadracci Pavilion--designed by well- known architect Santiago Calatrava. The book includes highlights of the museum's collection as well as numerous photographs of the Pavilion's combination of linear, flowing, sweeping--and always energetic design. It includes an introduction by former museum director Russell Bowman. Oversize: 10x11". Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
