Book Description
"The art collection assembled by Edgar Degas was remarkable not only for its quality, size, and depth but also for its revelation of Degas's artistic affinities. He acquired great numbers of works by the nineteenth-century French masters Ingres, Delacroix, and Daumier; he bought (or bartered his own pictures for) art by many of his contemporaries, particularly Manet, Cezanne, Gauguin, and Cassatt; and he acquired works by a wide range of other artists, from eminent to little known. The extent of Degas's holdings was not recognized until after his death, when the collection came up for auction in Paris in 1918 and, in what was called the sale of the century, was widely dispersed." "Extensive research has made it possible to "reassemble" that collection in book form. This summary catalogue contains information on the more than five thousand works owned by Degas. For each work catalogued the entry includes, to the extent possible: a description with medium and dimensions; provenance information about Degas's acquisition and ownership of the work; information pertaining to the sale of the work in 1918 (or its disposal earlier), including the purchaser, purchase price, and other data; the current location; selected references; and an illustration. In a concordance, collection sale lot numbers are listed with their corresponding summary catalogue numbers." "This catalogue and its companion volume of essays are published in conjunction with the exhibition "The Private Collection of Edgar Degas," held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from October 1, 1997, to January 11, 1998."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Excerpt from Paintings and Pastels by the Great French Master the Late Hilaire Germain Edgar Degas: Being the Private Collection of the Widely Known Antiquarian Jacques Seligmann of Paris Dear Sir: We have again seen with pleasure the 71 paintings, pastels and drawings by Degas, which you intend to forward to Amer ica, and which come from the sale of the Degas studio; it is likely that we shall never again see in France these beautiful art treasures bv Degas; as a souvenir, we shall have only the reproductions, for they were all photographed for the printing of the catalogues. On this point, we can give you some information which may be of use to you later on; all the paintings, pastels, and drawings were appraised and photographed immediately (i.e. After the artist's death) by com mon consent between the Degas family and the experts, in order to prevent their being touched up later on; the works are just as thev were done by Degas.

Book Description
When Edgar Degas died in 1917, his enormous art collection, consisting of several thousand paintings, drawings, and prints, came to light. This remarkable assemblage included great numbers of works by the French nineteenth-century masters whom Degas revered - Delacroix, Ingres, and Daumier - and at the same time demonstrated Degas's profound interest in the art of certain of his contemporaries, particularly Manet, Cezanne, Gauguin, and Mary Cassatt.
