Duchess of Cork Street: The Autobiography of an Art Dealer

This is the autobiography of a remarkable woman, who, educated in the culturally unsophisticated milieu of South Africa, managed by charm, determination, and good judgment to establish herself, between 1950 and the late 1970s, as a doyenne of the London art world. A gallery owner of distinctive and influential taste, she pioneered the study of such important painters as Degas, Rodin, and Augustus John.
