Summary "Weaving her family narrative into the larger story of twentieth-century art and culture, Selz paints [a] ... portrait of her charismatic father--the chief curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art and director of his own art museum in California]-- ... the generation of modern artists he championed, and the daughter whose life he shaped"--Dust jacket flap.
The daughter of the curator at the New York Museum of Modern Art describes her childhood growing up amidst the glamorous gallery openings and celebrated artists--including Rothko, Tinguely, and Christo--and the toll it took on her family.
