Few people today realize that almost everything associated with the Solomon Guggenheim Foundation--its mission, its collection of central European and early American modern art, and its landmark home--are realizations of the efforts of Hilla Rebay. Vrachopoulos (visual culture, CUNY and Parsons School of Design) and Angeline (Parsons School of Design and School of Visual Arts) attempt to remedy this situation with their study of Rebay's career as an artist, curator, patron and museum director. By placing Rebay in the sphere in which she moved and which she influenced, they convey a sense of American Modernism in the period between the wars. They conclude with an examination of Rebay's historical persona as it is portrayed in newspapers, magazines and academic sources. Annotation :2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
