Description: London: The Schorr Collection, 2014. 2 vols. 35cm., hardcover, slipcase, 792pp., 422 color plates. Summary: The Schorr Collection is a privately held collection and one of the largest of its kind of recent formation in the UK. The Old Master and nineteenth century part of the Collection has been built up over the last 35 years and now numbers over 420 works plus a smaller collection of drawings and watercolours. This two-volume publication enables this part of the Collection to be viewed in its entirety for the first time, since many of the featured works have never previously been published.
Volume I: The Catalogue volume contains a biography of every artist as well as a full provenance for each work, along with related versions and literature on each work. Many of the related paintings are also discussed and illustrated. A section on Drawings and Watercolours can also be found.
Volume II: In the Plates volume, which numbers over 430 pages, the works are grouped chronologically and by location of execution. Each section is preceded by an introductory essay written by Christopher Wright.
