Foreword Awards

We got great news earlier today. The "Corpus of Early Italian Paintings in North American Public Collections: The South," our three-volume undertaking that has been more than 15 years in the making and was finally, finally published recently, is a finalist in Foreword magazine's Book of the Year Awards, in the art category. Other finalists include books published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Hudson Hills Press. The gold, silver and bronze awards won't be announced until May 25, but it's true that, in this case, it really is an honor just to make the finals, especially when more than 1400 books were submitted for the prizes, but it's a testament to the work of many, not least author Perri Lee Roberts, designer Carol Haralson and project editor Cynthia Payne, all of whom spent countless hours poring over its pages. To purchase a copy of the "Corpus" from the Museum Shop, click here, and cross your fingers that we win!
