Wheelock Jr. and will ultimately document more than 5,000 paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts in the nation’s collection. Editions include an introduction by the curator, illustrated scholarly entries (each preceded by a short overview), artists’ biographies, technical summaries, and a complement of rich media, educational materials, and appendices related to the featured collection.
