Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. French Impressionist artist Edgar Degas had amassed a vast private collection of more than 5, 000 paintings, drawings, and prints by the time he died in 1917. Long since dispersed, it contained works by Delacroix, Ingres, and Daumier, and also by Degas' contemporaries, particularly Manet, Cezanne, Gauguin, van Gogh, and Cassatt. The collection was the subject of an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in late 1997. This new book is a companion volume to the exhibition catalogue. This summary catalogue contains much new information about the works of art in Degas' collection. Black-and-white reproductions are accompanied by a description with medium and dimensions, provenance, selected references, current location, and information pertaining to the sale of the work at auction in 1918, including the purchaser, purchase price, and other data. The material was culled from records of the 1918 sale, Degas' own inventory, dealers' stockbooks, and catalogue raisonnes, among other sources. Light age, overall neat and crisp.
