“Throughout my life, a broad fresco dominated by the fecundity of art, I have had the privilege of being friends with several artists who are now part of history. Now that they have all passed away, I would like to write about various personal experiences and encounters”.
This is how Katharine Kuh begins her memoirs as a gallery owner, curator, art curator and collector. Painters such as Léger, Rothko, Kline and Hopper appear in the pages of this autobiography, along with architects such as Mies van de Rohe, sculptors such as Constantin Brancusi, politicians, directors of art institutions and a whole world in which Kuh was a participant and above all an attentive spectator, to tell it in the first person with the pulse of an exceptional narrator.
