Description: In 2014, to mark the four-hundredth anniversary of El Greoc's death and the appeal of his art in America, major museums mounted exhibitions of paintings which came to their collections as a result of "Grecomaia", a collecting trend seemingly inspired by Knoedler Gallery's exhibition of the artist's work, in 1904. The Frick Collection's symposium focused on the development of American collectors' taste for El Greco's works.
Notes: "This volume evolved from the Symposium "El Greco Comes to America: The Discovery of a Modern Old Master," organized by the Center for the History of Collecting at The Frick Collection, with generous support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation; New York, January 26, 2015."
