About this book

"Old Masters, New World" is the story of beauty, aesthetics, and taste; money, trade, and power. It is a backstage look at the part played in American collecting by experts like Bernard Berenson and dealers like Colnaghi, Knoedler, and Duveena who raced around Europe to negotiate purchases and sales of the rarest and most costly masterpieces"--From publisher description.
