<p>A stunning view of one of the most important collections in the world. The Thyssen-Bornemisza is perhaps the definitive collection of 19th century American painting. In this fascinating catalog, Barbara Novak presents the works in the context of the culture in which they were created--with all the great artists represented: Bierstadt, Catlin, Cole, Copley, Homer, Inness, Sargent, and Whistler. 160 illustrations, 109 in full-color.</p>

<p>Just as William Goldman, the ultimate screenwriter, took us inside Hollywood, Simon de Pury, the ultimate art player, will take us inside an even more secretive business, whose staggering prices, famous collectors, and high crimes are front page news almost every day. The former Chairman of Sotheby's Europe, the former owner of Sotheby's rival Phillips de Pury, and currently a London-based dealer and advisor to great collectors around the world, Simon has one of the highest profiles of any non-artist in the art world. Even though he has an ancient title and the aura of an elegant Swiss banker, Simon is famous as an iconoclast and is known as "The Mick Jagger of Auctions" for his showmanship and exuberance. His whole life in art has been devoted to bringing art to the public and to the juxtaposition of high and low. Movie stars, musicians, and athletes compete with hedge funders and billionaires for the great art, and Simon is their pied piper; he wants to turn the world onto art and this book will be his message.</p>
