Duncan Phillips, born in 1886, converted his inherited Pittsburgh steel fortune into a museum of modern art in Washington, D.C. Robert Tannahill, born in Detroit in 1893, and independently wealthy from the age of thirty two when he inherited a fortune in J.L. Hudson department store stock, organized exhibitions of modern art in Detroit, and left a great collection to The Detroit Institute of Arts." Includes essays about the two collectors by Karen Wilkin, Stephen Bennett Phillips, and Charles H. Sawyer. A heavy volume; will require additional shipping charges.
