All the Empty Palaces: The Merchant Patrons of Modern Art in Pre-Revolutionary Russia had no precedent or rival. It is still the definitive account of the two great Moscow collectors who put together before 1914 the finest collection ever known, at the time or since, of impressionist and modern French painters, owning between them more than 50 Matisses, 43 Picassos and 27 Gauguins, not to mention Monets, Renoirs and Van Goghs. The book is a gripping read, authoritative, revelatory and impeccably researched.
