	British play resurrects art dealer - World - www.theage.com.au
		Using psychological teasing and a polite form of brainwashing, Duveen convinced millionaires such as Andrew Mellon, Samuel Kress, Henry Clay Frick and Arabella Huntington that they absolutely needed to own hugely expensive Botticellis, Raphaels, Rembrandts, Vermeers and Titians.
		The devoted dealer then came to Mellon's rescue when the US Treasury Secretary became embroiled in a lengthy trial for tax evasion, by letting it slip that his munificent patron was planning to leave his fabled pictures to the nation.
		Secrest offers what seems to me a misleading epigraph from Blaise Pascal about hunting: "They do not know that they seek only the chase and not the quarry." Duveen and his collectors cared about more than just the hunt; they treasured the quarry as well.
