Published to coincide with a retrospective exhibition on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York during 1998. Rothschild's (1921-1993) five-decade career and personal and artistic development are thoroughly explored in art historian Flam's text, which draws extensively on her personal notebooks and journals.
