The collection of Philadelphia artist and collector Earl Horter-much of it auctioned during the Depression-was a "who's who" of early 20th-century modern art: Picasso, Matisse, Duchamp, Braque, Gris, Brancusi, Sheeler, and De Chirico. This exhibition catalog reassembles the collection for the first time since 1931, including more than 175 color and black and white images that also showcase Horter's own paintings and etchings, as well as his holdings in American modernism, African art, and Native American artifacts.
