Renown & Notorious : Duveen
Duveen

The Story of the Most Spectacular Art Dealer of All Time

By S.N. Behrman
Introduction by Glenn Lowry


In a series of articles originally published in The New Yorker, playwright S.N. Behrman evokes the larger-than-life Duveen, art dealer to Henry Clay Frick, William Randolph Hearst, and others, and reveals the wheeling and dealing, subterfuge, and spirited drama behind the sale of nearly—but not quite—priceless masterpieces.
