Portrait of Dr. Gachet the Story of a Van Gogh Masterpiece, Money, Politics, Collectors, Greed, and Loss
- List Price: $18.00
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Penguin USA
- Publish date: 04/01/1999
This fascinating book reconstructs the painting's journey and becomes a rich story of modernist art and the forces behind the art market. Masterfully evoked are the lives of the thirteen extraordinary people who owned the painting and shaped its history: avant-garde European collectors, pioneering dealers in Paris and Berlin, a brilliant medievalist who acquired it for one of Germany's great museums, and a member of the Nazi elite who sold it after it had been confiscated as a work of "degenerate art". Remarkable and riveting, Portrait of Dr. Gachet illuminates, in dramatic detail, the dynamics of the art market and of culture in our time.
