A cooperative publishing effort of the University of California Press and the J. Paul Getty
Museum in Los Angeles, this lavishly produced volume reflects many years of work by
the acknowledged authority on classical sculpture in North America. The sculptures,
arranged by period, are accompanied by concise descriptive entries for the benefit of
the scholar and the general reader. The entries give the name of the museum, provenance,
and material. An index lists the museums by city. In an introduction Professor Vermeule
describes the role and development of sculpture in antiquity and offers the first coherent
analysis of the forces of taste, economics, and scholarship that have interacted to leave
an amazing legacy of classical sculpture in America.
