Über diesen Titel:

Críticas: "With precision and passion, the authors take measure of the irreparable damage done to Russia's heritage for pitifully inadequate financial returns. An avidly researched, magnificently illustrated, and thought-provoking history of a country's once glorious artistic splendor squandered." --Booklist "This lavishly illustrated tome highlights what Soviet culture lost, including historic Russian icons and masterpieces by Rembrandt and Van Gogh. It also points out the "cruel irony" of a revolution-ravaged USSR looking to the capitalist West for art purchasers. Among the buyers: American billionaire Andrew Mellon, who wound up donating his Russian-bought holdings to the National Art Gallery. A book for art lovers and history buffs alike." --The Seattle Times, gift guide selection "The plates are wonderful, each listing the work, the artist, the date of sale and the purchaser. The accompanying text adds much more context. Yes, you may be thinking, we know some of this -- but not all, not in such detail, not so comprehensively discussed and documented. It would make a wonderful gift to someone this Christmas season." --Judith H. Dobrzynski, Real Clear Arts blog
