I know this story because I see portions of my own in it…
In the case of Baer de Perignon, it started with a list of paintings — Renoir, Degas, Tiepolo — artists her great-grandfather, Jules Strauss, collected. The Vanished Collection (out in Jan) offers a candid look at the complexities of provenance archival research, family history, and asking difficult questions about the past. A loving ode to her great-gpa and his passion for fine art.
