 | | When Barcelona-born Carmen “Tita” Cervera married Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza in 1985, she was well aware that Heini, as she called him, possessed the largest private art collection in the world, a collection that museums in over two dozen countries sought to inherit. |
 | | Finding and perfecting a home for the baron’s collection, the world’s largest private portfolio of artwork, became her life’s mission. |
 | | Tita, a former Miss Barcelona, Miss Spain and Miss World, and former wife of Tarzan actor Lex Barker, knew nothing of art when she met the baron, but proved to be a quick study. |
