American art scholar Pergam specializes in the study of American collecting of Old Master and British paintings, and has been Curator of the Dian Woodner Collection since 2006. The recent
interest in the history or art exhibition has managed to skip one of the most important, she argues. The Manchester exhibition displayed over 16,000 works of art to nearly a million and half
people over the course of five months. She discusses art and commerce in Manchester at mid-century, what to see and where to see it, guiding and recording from pamphlets to photographs,
practicing art history, and profiting through art. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
