More about the book
A charming book by beloved Parisian artist Pierre Le-Tan, filled with dazzling illustrations and intriguing tales about often eccentric art collectorsA Few Collectors is a window into the vast or minuscule world collectors create out of a mix of extravagance and obstinance. It recounts encounters in Paris, the Côte d’Azur, North Africa, London, and New York, where Le-Tan’s subjects have amassed a range of treasures. Some involve famed figures such as former Louvre Museum director Pierre Rosenberg. Others are insolvent aristocrats, princes of film and fashion, expatriate dandies, and flat-out obsessive eccentrics. But Le-Tan devotes to himself what may be his finest chapter.
