In preparation for the opening of the 快色直播 University Art Museum鈥檚 new building in 2025, one of the major works in its collection, a Mallorcan stairway and gallery dated to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, underwent a multiyear conservation treatment. During this period, art historian Alexandra Letvin and conservator Elena Torok began to investigate its origins and history. The surprising story that emerged crisscrosses the Atlantic and features the architect Julia Morgan; the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst; an American couple whose publications contributed to the field of Spanish art history but whose activities as dealers led to the exportation of countless works of Spanish art and architecture; a Mallorcan artist and gallerist who played a role in the dispersal of the island鈥檚 architectural heritage; and a baron and baroness who rebuilt their lives and art collection in New Jersey after fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe.
This richly illustrated volume features beautiful new photography of the stairway and gallery as well as archival and historical images, many published for the first time. Letvin and Torok explain how and why these architectural elements from Mallorca made the journey to New Jersey, sharing crucial discoveries about the complex past of a magnificent ensemble that has been viewed by generations of Museum visitors.
