In 2015, the U.S. News & World Report raved that the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum âhouses one of the most distinguished university collections in the country.â Spotlights: Collected by the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum commemorates the museumâs ten-year anniversary in its new building at Washington University in St. Louis. Accompanying a major reinstallation of the illustrious permanent collection, this volume gathers fifty âspotlightâ essays exploring individual works from the thirteenth to the twenty-first century.

Illuminating both famous and lesser known works by a range of artistsâ"from D¼rer to Rembrandt, Pollock to de Kooningâ"this book departs from conventional âmasterpiecesâ or period approaches to present a sampling of ongoing and new research from a variety of scholarly voices. Approximately forty contributors offer perspectives on works of their own choosing from the museumâs collection, which has been growing since 1881. More than a catalog, this book is a vivid celebration of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museumâs storied history of collecting and scholarship.
