The John Singer Sargent Retrospective

    "See how they ran:  . . .  Both the US and the UK lay claim to Sargent’s nationality. The figures seem to put an end to the debate, as Washington averaged 4,494 visitors per day, Boston managed 3,187 with London coming in last with 1,961." 
    (The Art Newspaper’s survey of 1999’s most popular exhibitions)

Overview 

More than 100 paintings and watercolors by John Singer Sargent represents the artist's most significant and beautiful works. It was the first time since the  retrospective mounted after his death that so many of his works were exhibited together. 

    As always the National Gallery of Art did a superb job of presenting this exhibit, in part, on the Net. As an introduction I recommend taking a look at the brochure

Reviews of the show
Catalogue 

In the Kilmurray/Ormond Sargent retrospective book are 153 numbered colour plates of all the works displayed at the exhibit. 
 

    The JSS Exhibition Catalogue by Kilmurray is available at: www.amazon.com   for  $42 - hardcover. It received some poor write-in reviews regarding the quality of the reproductions but I found those to be nit-picking. I've seen far more expensive books that were hardly better. 

    It is also available at www.mfa.org  (Boston) in their on-line bookstore under Exhibition Books for $60 (hardcover). I bought the softcover version for significantly less  . . . 

    It is probably available on other on-line bookstores as well.
