New York, London and Washington, 1914 to 1939. The pictures are already crossing the Atlantic; what happens now is the argument over whose names are on them and where they will finally hang. Joseph Duveen sells to Henry Clay Frick, Henry Huntington, Samuel Kress, Jules Bache and above all Andrew Mellon, and spends a quarter of a century converting private walls into public institutions. Along the way a woman in Kansas City sues him for half a million dollars over a Leonardo he never examined, a hung jury declines to settle what an attribution is, the Soviet government sells him its own museum's stock, and a British barony arrives. The collections turn out to be permanent. The names on them do not. Covers Joseph Duveen, Henry Clay Frick, Henry Huntington, Samuel Kress, Jules Bache, Andrew Mellon, and Bernard Berenson.
