At the age of 28, Ambroise Vollard (1866–1939) established himself as an art dealer in Paris with the presentation of Cézanne's first solo exhibition. Over the succeeding years Vollard bought and sold pictures by Bonnard, Cézanne, Degas, Derain, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Maillol, Matisse, Picasso, Redon, Renoir, Rouault, Rousseau, Vlaminck, Vuillard, and others. This publication accompanies the exhibition at the Museum of the same name that features seven paintings from Vollard's 1895 Cézanne exhibition; a never-before-reassembled triptych from his 1896 Van Gogh retrospective; the masterpiece Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) from his 1898 Gauguin exhibition; paintings from Picasso’s first French exhibition (1901) and Matisse’s first solo exhibition (1904); and three pictures from Derain’s London series, painted in 1906–7 at Vollard's suggestion. Additionally, the volume presents dozens of ceramics, sculpture, prints, and livres d’artistes commissioned and published by Vollard, alongside numerous portraits of Vollard by leading artists, among them Cézanne, Renoir, Bonnard, and Picasso.

450 pages, 350 illustrations (250 in full color), 9 in. x 12 in. Available in hardcover (clothbound, with jacket) or paper.

“The show’s catalog, overseen by Rebecca A. Rabinow and written by the various organizers, contains years of fresh research based on previously unexamined documents. It is a rare thing when art so well known and a figure as familiar as Vollard can be presented in a new light.” — Michael Kimmelman, The Merchant of Modernism, The New York Times.
