SECONDHAND BOOKS | ART

This work is devoted to the very few women who, from 1750 to the present, have assembled significant art collections. The authors consider how and why these women collected, and explore the obstacles they overcame to assemble the objects. The book closely examines the characteristics of their collections, many of which can be seen today, sometimes in their entirety, in public museums and galleries.

1999, First edition. A fine, unmarked copy in a near fine d/w with only a couple of very small bumps on the rear panel.
