Summary: This book explores the theory that collectors of modern art in the first half of the twentieth century had more than financial means, keen instincts, and unflappable gumption: they had the ambition to learn about the art they collected. Drawing on their informed judgments as connoisseurs and independently developing the skills of professional curators, they demonstrated their acquired knowledge in the displays of the work they collected.
