Based on an extensive and very meticulous study of different archives and the evaluation of original, previously unpublished, archival material, this book highlights the key aspects and trends of the European and American art markets in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Recenzje

“This meticulously researched book offers the first systematic examination of the Rudolphe Kann collection, exploring its significance in the context of American competition in the transatlantic art market. Furthermore, it provides invaluable insights into the afterlife of the collection that emerged in the dynamic relationship between two art world powerhouses, Wilhelm Bode and the Duveen Brothers.”

--Lynn Catterson, Independent Researcher

“Michaela Watrelot's diligent profile of the fabled, Frankfurt-born collector Rudolf Kann – and particularly Kann's relationships with the illustrious picture dealer Charles Sedelmeyer (1837-1925) and renowned museum man Wilhelm Bode (1845-1929) – marks an essential contribution to the history of collecting Dutch pictures in fin-de-siècle Paris. Watrelot's monograph merits both our attention and approbation.” 

--Michael J. Ripps, Scholar and Dealer, Koetser Gallery, Zurich
