“Art isn't everything. It's just about everything”
―
Course Description:
Great names in the art world like Renoir, Klimt, Modigliani, Chagall, and Picasso might never have been known today without Cassirer, Pulitzer Lederer, Weill, Walden and Rosenberg. What prompted them to defend and trade with art? Daring and adventurous, collectors, dealers and patrons of the arts like Leo and Gertrude Stein, Peggy Guggenheim and Julien Levy pushed the boundaries of art, friendship and trade to bring some of the most exquisite masterpieces of our time to the public realm.
