The Eyes Have ItBy Christian SchlectMichel Strauss work life and personal interests have centered on art at the most refined level. If you are interested in great art--mainly paintings by the Impressionists and other masters--and the business of how these cultural prizes have moved from collector to collector (sometimes museums) and across continents; you will benefit from Mr. Strauss well-told stories that emanate from his distinguished career.In addition to learning about important individual art collectors of the past century; one is given insights into the practical workings--including the sometimes financial and legal difficulties--of a great international art auction house; Sothebys. The business side of art has rarely been so discreetly and gracefully told.As a bonus; the story of Mr. Strauss own European family heritage and rich cultural life is interesting and informative. (For instance; not everyone can claim Isiah Berlin as a stepfather.)
