Review:
"By far the best account of Joseph Duveen's life in a biography that is rich in detail, scrupulously researched, and sympathetically written. [Meryle Secrest's] inquiries into early-twentieth-century collecting whet our appetite for a more general history of the art market in the first half of the twentieth century."
-John Brewer, "The New York Review of Books
"Detailed and fascinating."
-Edmund Fawcett, "Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Secrest paints an engrossing picture of the art-dealing world, fraught with intrigues, betrayals and lawsuits, to say nothing of fakes, forgeries, and misattributions...A fascinating story, well told."
-"Publisher's Weekly
"A new, accurate, evenhanded account of Duveen's glamorous career."
-Michael Peppiatt, "New York Times Book Review
