Rizzoli Publishes Survey of US State Department's Diplomatic Reception Rooms Collection for America's 250th Anniversary

Rizzoli has released a new book to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, focusing on the Diplomatic Reception Rooms collection housed in the Harry S. Truman Building of the US Department of State in Washington, DC. This publication serves as a follow-up to the earlier volume 'America's Collection' and presents 100 key works from a collection of over 5,000 fine and decorative art objects, predominantly dating from 1740 to 1840. The collection narrates stories from the nation's founding era and its formative decades. The book aims to make this significant yet relatively obscure collection more accessible through a revised price and format. It features a new selection of objects accompanied by original scholarship, celebrating what is described as one of America's most astonishing treasures.
