THE COLLECTOR
MORGAN
Edited by Vanessa Sigalas & Jennifer Tonkovich
MORGAN THE COLLECTOR
THE ESSAYS IN THIS LAVISHLY ILLUSTRATED VOLUME offer a multifaceted portrait of American
financier J. Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) as a collector of art. A riveting exploration of Morgan’s acquisitions from antiquities to medieval manuscripts to Old Master paintings and European decorative arts, Morgan: The Collector introduces the reader to how and why he amassed his vast collection. The lively essays also serve as a tribute to Linda Roth, curator at Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, who dedicated much of her forty-year career to researching Morgan and the over 1,500 works from his collection now in the museum.
