{"product_id":"the-art-of-acquiring-mary-gabriel-9781890862060","title":"The Art of Acquiring: A Portrait of Etta \u0026 Claribel Cone","description":"\"For four and a half decades, Etta and Claribel Cone roamed artists' studios and art galleries in Europe, building one of the largest, most important art collections in the world. At one time, these two independently wealthy Jewish women from Baltimore received offers from virtually every prominent art museum in the world, all anxious to house their hitherto private assemblage of modern art. In 1949, they awarded all their holdings to the Baltimore Museum of Art. In 2002, that collection was valued at nearly $1 billion, making them two of the most philanthropic art collectors of our age.Yet, for complex reasons, the story of the Cone sisters has never been fully or accurately told.Mary Gabriel, an art-minded journalist and women's historian, has, at long last, brought the little-known sisters to life, and shone the spotlight on their remarkable achievements.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Gabriel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1890862061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781890862060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bancroft Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 6.00w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1999 pg. 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/24\/1999 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1999 pg. 772\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1999 pg. 43","brand":"Mary Gabriel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978746626303,"sku":"9781890862060","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1242cac5-d789-472a-ad17-d97641f25c8b.jpg?v=1683242863","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-acquiring-mary-gabriel-9781890862060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
