The Kreeger Museum Catalogue
The first Kreeger Museum catalogue was published in 2010. With 224 pages and 401 color images, the volume takes the reader on a visual voyage through the remarkable permanent collection which David and Carmen Kreeger acquired from 1952 to 1988.
“The process of researching and coordinating the creation of this catalogue has been a challenging and rewarding process. We are delighted to be able to disseminate more information about The Kreeger Museum’s collection and architecture through this seminal work,” says Director Judy A. Greenberg.
The Preface written by Trustees Carol Kreeger Ingall and Peter L. Kreeger, the daughter and son of David and Carmen, is a particularly touching, first-hand view of the beginnings of the collection to the workings of the museum at present. The Kreeger Museum’s Head of Education, Erich Keel gives an institutional perspective through his portrait of David Lloyd Kreeger as collector. Finally, Benjamin Forgey, author and former architectural critic for the
Washington Post, contributes an enthusiastic and insightful essay on Philip Johnson’s building.
The color plates are divided into five chapters: Landscape, Still Life Painting, The Figure, Art of the Sacred, and Abstraction. Each section features an interpretive essay by one of the three highly accomplished art historians: Jonathan P. Binstock, curator, author, and senior vice president of Citigroup’s Art Advisory Group; Laura Coyle, founder of Curator-at-Large; and Ori Z. Soltes, Goldman Professorial Lecturer in Theology and Fine Arts, Georgetown University.
