This book is a glorious celebration of Rhoda Pritzker's collection of 20th-century British art, much of which has been donated to the Yale Center for British Art.

Her collection as a whole makes the good point that the story of art can be compelling in its byways as well as its highways. -Patrick McCaughey, Times Literary Supplement
