About This Item
This is the 2009 reprint of Hearst the Collector, written by Los Angeles County Museum of Art historian Mary L. Levkoff and first published in 2008.
American media baron William Randolph Hearst was an avid art collector. Through the 1920s and 1930s, he amassed the largest private collections of tapestries, antiquities, silver and arms and armor of his time--his collection furnished six palatial homes.
This book takes the reader inside each, featuring the most interesting pieces, now dispersed among the world's museums.
This is an expensive, heavy, premium-quality coffee table book. 10 1/2" x 12 1/2", 256 pages with hundreds of photographs.
It has not been read and is in mint condition.
