Published to accompany an exhibition showcasing the Museum's dedication to contemporary art and celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Museum's Perspectives series, this catalogue brings the series’s innovation and prescience to life through a retrospective look at its history, exhibitions, and participating artists. Perspectives was one of the first U.S. museum series to focus on developments in contemporary art and it has continued uninterrupted from its inception in 1979 to the present. The catalogue reviews the series's distinguished history and highly successful record of introducing audiences to some of the most exciting art of the last quarter century. This was achieved through reproductions of and entries about the work of the 77 regional, national, and international artists selected for the exhibition to represent more than 800 artists who have exhibited in Perspectives shows over the years.
