		Some of their art had been previously displayed at the headquarters of their company, the Saga Corporation, in Menlo Park, but the two shows for which these catalogs were produced will expose hundreds of pieces to a wider public, in the Bay Area and beyond.

		Presenting Modern art by 140 artists is a challenge that this catalog valiantly meets, though the focus pieces actually leave one wishing that more of the art could have been discussed in that pinpointed fashion.
