Duveen

"A startling number of great works of European art in American museums are there because of the shrewdness of one man, Joseph Duveen, art dealer to Henry Clay Frick, William Randolph Hearst, Andrew Mellon, and John D. Rockefeller. Duveen based his dazzling career on the simple idea that Europe had art and America had money, and he used his legendary skills as a diplomat and virtuoso salesman to fill the mansions of the rich with masterpieces. When the wall space inevitably ran out, Duveen offered yet another tantalizing prospect to his clients: immortality."--BOOK JACKET.Behrman, S.
