This book tells the epic story of the fortunes and misfortunes of a small number of eminent art dealers and collectors who, against the odds, played a pivotal role in the migration of works of art from Europe to the United States and in the triumph of modern art. Beautifully written and compellingly told, this story takes place on both sides of the Atlantic from the late nineteenth century to the present. It is set against the backdrop of critical transformations, among them the gradual opening of European high culture, the ambiguities of Jewish acculturation, the massive sell-off of aristocratic family art collections, the emergence of different schools of modern art, the cultural impact of World War I, and the Nazi war against the Jews.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHICD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48176384966814,"sku":"gxd1787285443916","price":29.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6345\/4366\/files\/belonging-and-betrayal-how-jews-made-the-art-world-modern-by-charles-dellheim_1.jpg?v=1787285448"},{"product_id":"glass-plates-of-lublin","title":"Glass Plates of Lublin","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePublished by our own White Goat Press, the large-format, hardcover book includes hundreds of stunning photographs made from glass plates unearthed from a trash pile in a tenement house in a former Jewish section of Lublin, Poland.

Photojournalist Hassan Sarbakhshian spent two years living among Iran’s Jewish communities, joining them for holidays, family gatherings, and travels, and―with the help of fellow journalist Parvaneh Vahidmanesh―documenting how they lived. Moving beyond the well-known state and regional confrontations, the photos that Sarbakhshian took tell a broader story about a community of people who live in the figurative and literal middle. They are Iranian nationals by birth and by choice, and they are Jews by religious affiliation. Full loyalty to their country is expected, even as their ancestral homeland is at odds with their political homeland. This photographic chronicle illuminates the grey zone that they inhabit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeaturing over one hundred full-color photos, contextualized with extensive annotations, and accompanied by a substantive introduction written by historian Lior B.
