Old Masters, New World
By: Saltzman, Cynthia
Published by: Viking
In 1870 a group of wealthy and culturally ambitious. New Yorkers founded the Metropolitan Museum of. Art in a Manhattan brownstone with a lackluster collection. and not a single major work of art. Americans. came late to the game of art collecting and raced to. catch up. Soon, America’s new industrial tycoons. began to compete for Europe’s extraordinary Old. Master pictures, laying claim to works by Vermeer,. Titian, Rembrandt, and others, and causing a major. migration of art across the Atlantic. Cynthia Saltzman recounts the fierce competition. to acquire some of the greatest paintings in the. world and the boom in the market. At the center. of this enterprise were the steel tycoon Henry Clay. Frick, the banker J. Pierpont Morgan, the sugar king. Harry Havemeyer and his wife Louisine, as well as. the Boston aesthete Isabella Stewart Gardner, and. the Metropolitan’s president, Henry Marquand. 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 Duveen—who raced around. Europe to negotiate purchases and sales of the rarest. and most costly masterpieces.
