Description
 
Arthur Jerome Eddy, the Chicago lawyer, author, and art collector, was a legend in his lifetime (1859-1920). He was the first person to buy radically modern paintings by Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia at the 1913 Army Show, the first American collector to purchase works by Vasily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, and arguably the first person to write a book about modern art in the U.S. A prominent corporation lawyer, one century later, Eddy is best known as a collector of modern art. This book explores how he began to collect, when and from whom he bought art, which artists he favored, and why he acquired certain works and not others. Illus.
