Exhibitionist : Earl Stendahl, Art Dealer as Impresario
Author April Dammann explores the world of Earl Stendahl, renowned as the father of California's art scene, the greatest art dealer of them all. A century ago, when the West was just learning to collect, Stendahl took the lead, forming Stendahl Art Galleries at the famed Ambassador Hotel--history in the making. Stendahl's walls featured the best work of California Impressionist artists and soon showcased Picasso's Guernica, Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase, the work of Klee, Chagall, Rivera, Degas, Mondrian, and many, many more. In Exhibitionist, those gallery walls finally speak. --Book Jacket
