An astonishing variety of objects, from icons and illuminated manuscripts to FabergeÌ eggs and Old Master paintings, entered the collections of wealthy Westerners like Andrew Mellon and Armand Hammer in the 1920s and 30s. Written by the leading experts in the field and long regarded as the definitive book on the subject, the original Russian edition of Selling Russia's Treasures is sought after scholars and laymen alike. Now, for the first time, it is made available in English, in a revised and expanded edition that includes a new chapter on the secret files of the Hermitage, previously considered lost, as well as new research on the sale of religious art, and of twentieth-century French masterworks from the Museum of New Western Art. Numerous color plates reunite long-dispersed works in a virtual museum that illustrates the powerful blow inflicted on Russia's cultural heritage by these secretive sales, and rare photographs and archival documents help bring this buried history to light. 650 0 $a Art and state $z Soviet Union $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Export marketing $z Soviet Union $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Cultural property $z Soviet Union $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art $x History $x History $y 20th century. 610 20 $a GosudarstvennyiÌ EÌrmitazh (Russia) $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Semenova, N.
