"The final essay by William D. Wixom, "Riemenschneider in America," details the particular collecting habits that later resulted in the core selection of Gothic sculpture found in American museums today. There is a useful timeline of collections, highlighting important individual works from the 1880s through the 1990s. In addition to the informative essays, there are 45 catalogue entries with color photographs for each object and supporting black and white photographs. The entries are clearly written with a short bibliography and provenance for each object. The catalogue is an excellent example of the extraordinary scholarship produced by museums today and would be a welcome addition to any library."Riemenschneider, Tilman is the author of 'Tilman Riemenschneider Master Sculptor of the Late Middle Ages' with ISBN 9780894682445 and ISBN 089468244X.
