And B] the sister of Lord Joseph Duveen married René in London in 1912.<br /><br />http://nga.gov.au/WhatsOn/Gimpel.cfm<br />Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-64892407458606522512014-10-08T10:25:26.429+11:002014-10-08T10:25:26.429+11:00Hi again, You are in for a treat reading the Gimp...Hi again, You are in for a treat reading the Gimpel book. He gives his private opinion on everyone in the art market--painters, dealers, and American millionaire collectors. I was further pleased to note his favorable impression of the city of Cleveland and its museum.<br />--Jim Parnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-11590435555210616602014-10-08T10:16:47.862+11:002014-10-08T10:16:47.862+11:00Parnassus

Plus he worked with everyone I think was important: Picasso, Laurencin, Braque, Wildenstein etc. He was even the great nephew of another of my heroes, Louis Vuitton!!<br /><br />You have just sorted out my reading for this weekend, thanks :)Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-47937328212508428822014-10-08T10:08:23.854+11:002014-10-08T10:08:23.854+11:00Joe

There was nothing like Nazi looting on a massive scale to force the great collectors and dealers out of Paris and to put them on different career paths.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-59905652893368770172014-10-08T00:58:43.947+11:002014-10-08T00:58:43.947+11:00Hello Hels, All of the names you mention are feat...Hello Hels, All of the names you mention are featured continually, both flatteringly and otherwise, in the entertaining diaries of Rene Gimpel. Gimpel himself should probably be added to your list. A major art dealer in early 20th century Paris, he died in the Nazi concentration camps.<br /><br />By the way, the Diaries were translated by a John Rosenberg--I wonder if he was some relation to Paul.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-14441111892403451022014-10-08T00:41:02.716+11:002014-10-08T00:41:02.716+11:00Paul Rosenberg and Georges Wildenstein had a close...Paul Rosenberg and Georges Wildenstein had a close partnership.
