I worked with Marcia Tucker as her editorial assistant and archivist to develop this book before she passed away. She tasked me with making sure it came to fruition and asked that I select certain readings to ensure it maintained its up-to-date content after her passing. I worked with her archive at The Getty Research Institute to compile and organize all the material included in this publication. I also was in charge of writing out Marcia's requests with regards to titles, content, and editorial involvement. My contributions are credited in the book's acknowledgments.
