註釋Philadelphia artist Earl Horter (1880-1940) assembled a collection of modern art remarkable for its time, filling his Delancey Street townhouse with more than twenty Picassos, including Picasso's Portrait of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, paintings and collages by Georges Braque, Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase, No. I, and other important works now in major museums throughout the world. Horter also formed collections of African art and Native American artifacts. He was forced to disperse much of his collection during the Depression. Now, for the first time since his death in 1940, his masterpieces of modern European and American art, African art, and Native American works have been reassembled and reunited here, using exhibition records, photographs of his collection, and documentary evidence, by Innis Howe Shoemaker. The Audrey and William H. Helfand Senior Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
