I acquired a copy of Twentieth Century Art The Ebsworth Collection which
happens to be my cousin Barney's art collection.
There is a 29 page pdf preview of this at
http://www.nga.gov/pdf/ebsworth.pdf
This will give you at least a glimpse in to this remarkable collection.
The book features work by George Ault, Peter Blume, Bolotwosky, Byron Browne, Patrick Henry Bruce, Charles Burchfield, Alexander Calder, Francis Criss, Andrew Dasburg, Stuart Davis, Manierre Dawson, Willem de Kooning, Charles Demuth, Preston Dickinson, Arthur Dove, Suzy Frelinghuysen, Albert E. Gallatin, William Glackens, Arshile Gorky, Morris Graves, O. Louis Guglielmi, Marsden Hartley, Stefan Hirsch, David Hockney, Edward Hopper Chop Suey, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Franz Kline, Walt Kuhn, Gaston Lachaise, Luigi Lucioni, John Marin, Alice Trumbull Mason, Joan Mitchell, Ellie Nadelman, Alice Neel, Georgia O'Keefe, Claes Oldenburg, Jackson Pollack, Robert Rauschenberg, Theodore Roszak, Charles Sheeler, Esphyr Slobodkina, David Smith, Joseph Stella, John Storrs, Miklos Suba, Wayne Thiebaud, Bob Thompson, George Tooker, Andy Warhol, Marguerite Thompson Zorach, 74 remarkable artists in all.
It is almost beyond comprehension that Barney was able to put together such a collection. I only wish he would collect together his extended family members with some of the same enthusiasm and warmth that he devotes to his art collection.
