Excerpt from North Carolina Museum of Art Bulletin, 1997, Vol. 17 Pre-eminent scholar, sought - after connoisseur, and master museum builder, the German-born Valentiner was a central figure on the American art scene for much of the first half of this century. As director of the Detroit Institute of Arts in the 19205 and 19305, he guided the development of its distinguished Collections as well as se???uring its international reputation. Subsequently, as co-director-consultant at the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art, he engineered its division, thereby helping to create the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. From there, Valentiner led J. Paul Getty's early efforts to establish his museum before being persuaded in 1955 to become the first director of the North Carolina Museum of Art. He served here from 1956 until his death in September of 1958. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
