What's amazing is how little has changed. It still takes the same Duveen mentality to push the art pieces around. Read Volpe's _Framed_, almost the same tale, fastforwarded many decades. Feigen's recent memoir speaks to the same patterns, other cities, other quarters, same brain cells.

I wish I could be as influential as Joseph Duveen was in the history of art dealing and collecting. He did some shady deals and he was a shady character, but he brought Renaissance art to American collectors. Really he just brought art to America.

How to be a really successful art dealer...even if you have to sell your soul along with the painting.
