Zusammenfassung:This volume of essays explores a range of country house collections in Ireland, the UK, US and Europe.

Among the topics considered are the impact of exhibitions, auctions, and tax systems, private versus institutional collectors, the range of audiences who appreciate art, and how collections are made to tell national stories
