Hailed at the time as one of the world's most important acquisitions of contemporary art, the Panza collection featured works by twenty internationally significant artists including Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Jean Fautrier, Antonio Tapies, Claes Oldenburg and George Segal.

Panza: The Legacy of a Collector features essays by Count Panza, Cornelia H. Butler, Caroline A. Jones and Kenneth Baker, and also includes informational texts on each of the artists in the collection. A Landmark document for a landmark exhibition.
