Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of the Very Valuable Paintings by Ancient and Modern Masters Collected by the Late Ferdinand Hermann, New York City: To Be Sold at Unrestricted Public Sale by Direction of Bernhard F. Hermann, David T. Davis and Arthur M. Hess, Executors of the Late Sara Hermann, Widow of Ferdinand Hermann, in the Grand Ballroom of the Plaza Hotel It will readily be conceded that the pictures described herein, and which compose the collection of the late Mr. And Mrs. Ferdi nand Hermann, cover a surprisingly wide range both in chro nology and in choice of subject. Where a painting is obviously autograph there is no need of a signature, although it will impart an added interest to the work of art. And a remarkably large proportion of the pictures in this collection are signed. We here find but a single example of Italian art, a Ma donna by Sano di Pietro. By its recent exhibition it has stood the test of public consideration and critical analysis at the hands of the experts. Frost-bound formalism of ecclesiastical restric tion is the dominant feature of Byzantine art, yet the small and later Tabernacle before us is unusually gay in color. In the representative triptych by Albert Bouts, and in the two small works by the Master of Cappenberg the primitive aspect of Netherlandish expression is clear to see. Another, and rather different phase is provided for the student in the picture now rightly assigned to the Master of the Death of Mary. An echo of the Renaissance reaches us in the art of Rubens, Frans Fourbus the Elder and David Teniers the Younger.

The Evolution of Taste in American Collecting is a new critical translation of René Brimo’s classic study of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century patronage and art collecting in the United States. Originally published in French in 1938, Brimo’s foundational text is a detailed examination of collecting in America from colonial times to the end of World War I, when American collectors came to dominate the European art market. This work helped shape the then-fledgling field of American art history by explaining larger cultural transformations as manifested in the collecting habits of American elites. It remains the most substantive account of the history of collecting in the United States. In his introduction, Kenneth Haltman provides a biographical study of the author and his social and intellectual milieu in France and the United States. He also explores how Brimo’s work formed a turning point and initiated a new area of academic study: the history of art collecting. Making accessible a text that has until now only been available in French, Haltman’s elegant translation of The Evolution of Taste in American Collecting sheds new critical light on the essential work of this extraordinary but overlooked scholar.
