註釋
“Money, pretension, horrid behavior by cultured people” (
New York
) —John Anderson’s tale delivers it all in fabulously juicy detail.
This is the story of how a fabled art foundation—the greatest collection of impressionist and postimpressionist art in America, including 69 Cézannes, 60 Matisses, and 44 Picassos, among many priceless others—came to be, and how more than a decade of legal squabbling brought it to the brink of collapse and to a move that many believe betrayed the wishes of the founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes (1872—1951).
Art Held Hostage
is now updated with a new epilogue by the author covering the current state of this international treasure and the endless battle over its fate.
