It features 22 essays that examine his career and connections with a number of individual artists and collectors; his business practices; his publication of bronze casts, prints, and artists' books; his archives in Paris; and the dispersal of his collection after his tragic death in an automobile accident in 1939. Included are essays by organizing curators at the Art Institute, Douglas Druick and Gloria Groom; at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Gary Tinterow and Rebecca Rabinow; at the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, Anne Roquebert and Isabelle Cahn; and independent curator Ann Dumas. The book is currently available in the Museum Shop.
