The Art of Acquiring: A Portrait of Etta and Claribel Cone by Mary Gabriel
Etta and Claribel Cone, two spinster sisters, roamed the art galleries and studios of Europe and each amassed an important collection. They taught themselves art history and purchased avant-garde work by Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin, Cezanne and Degas. As close as the sisters were, they had particular preferences, but both were savvy and knew what they were doing. Their collection now resides at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
