Marchands d'Art

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.74
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Ce ne sont ni des mémoires ni une somme autobiographique. C'est juste un homme qui parle. Mais pas n'importe qui : Daniel Wildenstein, 82 ans, empereur et patriarche des marchands d'art. Basée à New York, la Wildenstein Inc s'adosse à un stock évalué en milliards de dollars, qui balise près de six siècles de peinture. Petit-fils de Nathan, fils de Georges, " Monsieur Daniel " - c'est ainsi qu'on l'appelle à son institut ou sur les hippodromes - est donc le troisième maillon de la dynastie de marchands de tableaux la plus puissante au monde et la plus secrète qui soit. Depuis près d'un demi-siècle et du bout des lèvres, Daniel Wildenstein n'acceptait de parler que de ses chevaux. De rien d'autre. Il ne répondait à aucune question, à aucune attaque, à aucune polémique. Une véritable abstraction vivante. Pour la première fois de son existence, il a brisé son mutisme légendaire. Aujourd'hui, il nous raconte " quelques petites choses vues, entendues ou vécues ". Passent alors dans le paysage : Clemenceau, Picasso, Maurice de Rothschild, Randolph Hearst, Bonnard, Malraux, Paul VI et " quelques " autres... Daniel Wildenstein nous convie à une promenade intime, à travers des instants de sa vie, des portraits, des récits, des éclairages, des révélations, des réflexions. Et promène son œil aigu de faucon pèlerin sur la fabuleuse planète des arts.
