In defiance of his final wish, Alec and Guy, his sons from a first marriage, persuade their stepmother Sylvia to give up their father’s inheritance. Without any chance of settlement, Claude Dumont-Beghi, Sylvia Wildenstein’s lawyer, access to justice in 2005, she obtains the cancellation of the waiver and the appointment of an expert. He finds out that the heirs have only declared to the Ministry of Finance 43 million, which represents 1% of the estate. Over a billion euros tax diversion. Did Guy Wildenstein, one of UMP’s contributors, hide the largest part of his fortune by transferring some of his paintings in trusts hosted in tax havens? The hunt begins. Despite risks, Mrs. Dumont-Beghi did not let it go. After Alec and Sylvia Wildenstein’s death in 2008 and 2010, Guy is the only one to be in the sights of justice. In 2011, the Ministry of Finance filed a complaint against him for tax evasion. In early October, a judicial investigation was opened at the Paris Bar. Shameless plunder, betrayed wills, family quarrels, financial arrangements, money laundering, tax evasion, “lost” paintings discoveries... From art galleries to racing stables, from courts to front companies, this book is the story of this incredible fight. - Claude Dumont-Beghi, the lawyer who uncovered the case, says all about her ten-year fight. - A total immersion into the shady world of tax havens and art dealers. - A long awaited, live issue document, with political ramifications. - One of the most explosive case of the last few years covered by the international press: Tuesday 21 September, 2010 The Telegraph September 23, 2010 Wildenstein widow launches lawsuit against Sarkozy administration The widow of Daniel Wildenstein, one of the world’s greatest art dealers, has launched a criminal lawsuit Publication: March 2012 accusing French ministers of turning a blind eye to Pages: 240 alleged tax evasion. 2 Biographies Saint-Exupéry: A desire to live (Saint-Exupéry, la soif d'exister) Bernard Marck Postal hero, seducer, adventurer, Saint-Exupéry was one of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century. His friend Leon Werth said: “With him, everything is connected: maths, biology, poetry of spaces, a table board or a funny pub, his love for Pascal, card tricks.” Bernard Marck tells 36 first years of the short but bubbling and frenetic life of the pilot that General de Gaulle despaired to ever relate to the cause of France, but also the self-taught writer often compared to Malraux and Conrad, who disappeared between sky and sea, on July 31st, 1944, off Marseille. The second volume is due Fall 2012 Publication: April 2012 - Pages: 576 - The first volume of a great biography, the result of over twenty years of investigation and exclusive interviews with dozens of witnesses and close ones to Saint Exupery: Jean-Gérard Fleury, Charles Bultel, Pierre Picard, Jean Macaigne, Helen Vogue, Françoise Giroud… - A rare documentation, extracted from many public and private archives (Saint-Exupery family, La Rocque, Latécoère, Air France, Bouilloux-Lafont, Winston Churchill...) - Bernard Marck’s reputation, biographer of great aviators and author of The Universal Aviation dictionary (Tallandier). Simone Veil (Simone Veil ou la force de la conviction) Jocelyne Sauvard “A historical figure who embodies the history of France”, François Mitterrand said about Simone Veil on March 18, 2010, the day after she entered l’Académie française, where she is the sixth woman to be admitted. Free and impetuous, demanding and collected, Simone Veil (born in 1927), former Health Minister responsible for the legalization of abortion, fights for justice and respect for each individual, but also for Europe, which she embodies with passion. Beyond the exceptional figure, she is above all a woman. This biography reveals Simone Veil in the heart of a shattered century and unveils the life and freedom of a woman with a luminous fate. Publication: April 2012 - Pages: 320 3 Rousseau: Seven lives of a Visionary Man (Rousseau, les 7 vies d’un visionnaire) Valère-Marie Marchand All at once writer, philosopher and musician, Jean-Jacques Rousseau (born June 28, 1712 in Geneva and died July 2, 1778 at Ermenonville) lived several lives into one. This biographical essay analyzes seven of his paradoxical lives. We will discover the lives of a good but wild child, a sedentary on the roads of exile, a hack who became an accomplished stylist, a spiritual father who was an absent father, a solitary man supportive of his contemporaries, a successful novelist and a visionary man. The hidden side of Rousseau, who preferred to be a “man of paradox” rather than a “man of prejudice”, is never where you think. From one paradox to an other, Valère-Marie Marchand shows how this unclassifiable man reborn from every previous existence and how he survived all the prejudices. Publication: April 2012 Pages: c. 360 Illustrated book (for young adults) Jean-Jacques Rousseau : Story of his Life (Il était une fois Jean-Jacques Rousseau) Rémy Hildebrand La Nouvelle Heloise, The Social Contract, Emile, Essay on the Origin of Languages...: Rousseau’s work is studied in class and in universities around the world. This book explores the life of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, his permanent quest for freedom of thought and his fight for a free conscience; the destiny of an apprentice engraver with an outstanding fate, precursor of religious, educational, legal and literary ideas. Different themes throughout the book (Rousseau and… music, botany, sentimental passions, writing, politics, religion, diplomacy...) show the diverse talents of the “Citizen of Geneva”. Publication: April 2012 - Pages: c. 144 4 Thriller The mystery of Edwin Drood (Le mystère Edwin Drood) Charles Dickens A novel completed by Paul Maury The Mystery of Edwin Drood – the one and only suspense novel written by Charles Dickens – was left unfinished at his death in 1870. The story centers on the mysterious disappearance of young Edwin Drood, seemingly happy and supported by his uncle John Jasper, choirmaster at the Cathedral of Cloisterham, and supposed to marry the orphan Rosa Bud. Jasper leads the first investigation, but soon raises suspicions of the reader, as he lives a double life, opium addict in his spare time and in love with Rosa.... Dickens’s text ends with the appearance of a detective pretending to be called Datchery, who seems to disguise a character already known by the reader... For over a century, readers, writers and critics have tried to solve the riddle. A sequel is published in the United States in 1871, and another two years later in England, written “through a medium”. Several different endings have been proposed, including Dan Simmons. This edition includes the very satisfying ending of Belgian writer Paul Maury (first published in 1956), aka Paul Kinnet, author of numerous thrillers. Publication: April 2012 - Pages: 512 Young readers Karl (The Black Trilogy*) Martial Caroff Vaison-sur-Marne, a Paris dark suburb. Karl, a fellow flirting with crime, meets at the police station Ronan, son of a cop, a dreamer, ill at ease in the capital. His path crosses with Layla, the daughter of a Lebanese sculptor and a rich art dealer from Paris. Chance will bring these three in the streets of Vaison. Into a trap where they will face bullies, their lieutenants and a swarm of young devils... They will have only a few hours to get out. The Black Trilogy: Karl, Layla, Ronan. Three students from different backgrounds, three contrasted personalities that should have never met, will stick together, through the terrible events they will have to cross.

  • 1 Sylvie Crussard Oral History
    Sylvie Crussard Oral History [01:09:49] ELIZABETH GORAYEB: I’m Elizabeth Gorayeb, and I’m here today with Sylvie Crussard. It is September 16th, 2020, and we’re recording an oral history for the Wildenstein Plattner Institute’s Paul Gauguin oral history series. Sylvie Crussard, do I have your permission to record this interview? SYLVIE CRUSSARD: Yes, of course. EG: Wonderful. Great, thank you so much for being with us, Sylvie. So as we discussed, I’d love to have a little personal introduction from you, and mainly, Sylvie, how did you get into the field of art historical research? So you can go back as far as your early days working for the Wildenstein Institute, when you started working for the Wildenstein Institute, or even before then. So, I’ll leave it to you to fill in that first blank. SC: Well, Liz, I must say, working for the Wildenstein Institute was my very first job, because I’d just finished my studies. Which by mistake, were not history of art, except for a little bit of formation. But my main thing was political science. EG: Oh, interesting. And where was that, Sylvie? SC: This was a total mistake. I should never have studied political science, but finally, I still did, so I finished it. And during the last year, I passed three certificates of history of art, because this was a -- very relaxing, to me, you know, compared to political science. Which I didn’t dislike, but 1 (pauses) it wasn’t my vocation at all. So, I was relaxing, reading history of art books, and I passed -- you needed four certificat to get a licence, which means -- which is the first degree.

The sale of this vast collection, started at the turn of the century by Nathan and Laure Wildenstein and comprising more than 250 works of art, including an unprecedented dispersal of magnificent Boulle furniture, is estimated to realise over £14 million ($25 million). The depth and range of the collection is as extraordinary as its impeccable, untouched condition. The majority of the works have remained undisturbed since their acquisition up to one hundred years ago at the turn of the 20th century and the collection has not been available, even to the cognoscenti, for either viewing or acquisition. Its appearance on the market is a true landmark event in the annals of French furniture collecting. “After careful thought, Wildenstein has decided to sell the contents of the Hôtel de Wailly at 57, rue de la Boétie in Paris to create new facilities for housing the archives and research workrooms of the Wildenstein Institute, the world’s leading publisher of catalogues raisonnés.

  • Water Lilies
    Ann Temkin and Nora Lawrence CLAUDE MONET water lilies The Museum of Modern Art NEW YORK Historical Note Claude Monet rented a house in Giverny, France, in 1883, purchasing its property in 1890. In 1893 he bought an additional plot of land, across a road and a set of railroad tracks from his house, and there embarked on plans to transform an existing small pond into a magnificent water garden, filled with imported lilies and spanned by a Japanese-style wooden bridge (fig. 1). This garden setting may well signify “nature,” but it was not a purely natural site. Monet lavished an extraordinary amount of time and money on the upkeep and eventual expansion of the pond and the surrounding grounds, ultimately employing six gardeners. Itself a cherished work of art, the garden was the subject of many easel-size paintings Monet made at the turn of the new century and during its first fig. 1 HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON decade.
