The Barnes collection is perhaps the greatest privately owned art collection in America; it consists of thousands of works of art including 69 Cézannes, 60 Matisses, and 44 Picassos. This book does not tell the story of the making of the collection or of the enigmatic owner, Dr. Albert C. Barnes, instead it focuses on the compelling, and sometimes frustrating tale of what happened to the art after Barnes’s death. Race, politics, ego and greed take center stage in this intriguing story of Richard H. Glanton, the Barnes Foundation’s president following Albert Barnes death.
