Summary
The idiosyncratic lives of Sterling and Stephen Clark, two of America's greatest art collectors, heirs to the Singer sewing machine fortune, and for decades bitter enemies. Includes the story of the two generations that preceded theirs, providing an intimate portrait of one of the least known of America's richest families. The story includes the founding of the Baseball Hall of Fame and New York's Museum of Modern Art, and a bizarre attempted coup against Franklin D. Roosevelt.--From publisher description.
