Book Summary No art lover can fail to be deeply impressed by the Walter Annenberg collection. His sense of quality has led him to acquire only works of major beauty and significance. These standards of excellence have enabled him, over the years, not only to collect works of great importance but the forge a coherent and homogeneous ensemble, where the quality of the whole is as high as that of the components. I've seen the works of the paradise-like setting of Rancho Mirage, surrounded by the luscious beauty of the landscape, which Walter Annenberg has also created, is an experience not to be forgotten. But seeing them in the great Philadelphia Museum of Art, close to such a number of masterpieces, will be exhilarating:  great works of art also like to be together!  --Emmanuel De Margerie ISBN:  0 - 87633 - 079 - 0
