Produktbeschreibung

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 foundationthe greatest collection of impressionist and postimpressionist art in America, including 69 Cézannes, 60 Matisses, and 44 Picassos, among many priceless otherscame 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 (18721951). 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.
