Epitome of desire
"This is an American dream story : Ray Nasher, the son of a Russian immigrant father, a boy from Boston who made good. This is the story of Ray's marriage to Patsy, and their desire to collect only the best. And of the sculpture collection they created, one which would rank among the best in the world. It's a story about the courting of that collection by the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., New York's Guggenheim Museum and others. And Nasher's dramatic decision to go it alone and create, with the great Italian architect and Pritzker Prize winner Renzo Piano, a renowned sculpture center and garden for the collection, an oasis on the edge of downtown Dallas. A magnificent gift from the Nashers to the city where their fortune was made."--BOOK JACKET.
