Katharine Kuh's memoirs, published 11 years after her death, offer a firsthand account of all the anxiety and excitement that went into seeing, showing and making modern art in the second half of the 20th century. A pioneering art dealer, curator and critic, who witnessed at first-hand the arrival of Modernism in America, Kuh knew everyone who was anyone in the art world at the time. Her first professor was Alfred Barr, the legendary founding director of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Joseph Albers, Constantin Brancusi, Edward Hopper, Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still all became close friends and confided in her. So attuned was she to their hopes and ambitions that her recollections make her into something of a 20th-century Giorgio Vasari.
