THE PRESENT WORK WAS FORMERLY IN THE DOUGLAS COOPER COLLECTION.
DOUGLAS COOPER (1911-1984), THE CELEBRATED ART HISTORIAN AND CRITIC, BEGAN AS EARLY AS 1927 TO AMASS WHAT WOULD BECOME ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT COLLECTIONS OF CUBIST WORKS OF ART. AS A SCHOLAR AND CRITIC HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST ELOQUENT AND PRINCIPAL APOLOGISTS OF CUBISM. HIS MASSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY INCLUDES BOOKS, MAJOR EXHIBITION CATALOGUES, AND INNUMERABLE ARTICLES ABOUT CUBISM. HIS STUDY OF CUBISM CULMINATED IN TWO EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITIONS: THE CUBIST EPOCH AT THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM AND THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM IN 1970 AND THE ESSENTIAL CUBISM AT THE TATE GALLERY IN 1983. COOPER'S COLLECTION OF WORKS BY JUAN GRIS WAS DESCRIBED IN 1958 AS ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE. COOPER'S DEVOTION TO THAT ARTIST'S WORK IS APPARENT, MOREOVER, IN HIS WRITINGS, CULMINATING IN THE CATALOGUE RAISONNé OF GRIS' PAINTINGS IN 1977.
