"Many leading American museums, as well as the major contemporary art museums in Europe, have recognized Paul Jenkins as one of the leading American artists of today by acquiring and frequently exhibiting his work.  Jenkins' paintings also hang in practically every major private collection of contemporary art in this country.  Yet, while being widely acknowledged over the past decade as an important, pioneering American artist, Paul Jenkins had not been the subject of a one-man museum retrospective in the United States until the winter of 1971-72, when the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the San Francisco Museum of Art cooperated to assemble the most comprehensive survey of Jenkins' work to date. . ."
