Item description from seller

Butterscotch stapled wraps, 24 pp, unpaginated, unillustrated. An exhibition of artwork, letters, manuscripts, ad other memorabilia of this "prominent French art dealer, friend and patron of living artists and collector (1881 - 1945). His witty and acerbic Journal d'un Collectionneur, translated and published as Diary of an Art Dealer, are a primary source for the contemporary history of modern art and of collecting between the World Wars. Trained in the classic traditions of connoisseurship, a great admirer of Chardin, Gimpel had an instinctive sympathy for the modern contemporaries among whom he moved: Georges Braque, Mary Cassatt, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and above all, his intimate friend Marie Laurencin. The friend of Anatole France, and Marcel Proust in his last years, he had a selective high regard for many museum professionals." - Wikipedia. Quite scarce. VG, has one small stamp on front cover ("Gift of Dr. Israel Rosen), small area with tiny impressions at top cover.

We have about 1000' of backlog in our specialties numbering over 30,000 items (including 20,000+ smaller and ephemeral catalogues devoted to individual artist exhibitions). Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.
