WOMEN’S PATRONAGE – Group of fourteen books on women patrons and collectors of the arts, from Mrs. Wrightsman’s personal library. 20-21st century.

14 volumes, various sizes. Original publisher’s bindings, some with original dust jackets, slip covers and archival boxes. Includes texts in English and French.
Originally sponsored by Jackie Kennedy to renovate three rooms of the White House, Mrs. Wrightsman collaborated with Jansen on a decorating scheme which would remain for three administrations. Honored in France and Britain with titles—and in America and Russia with galleries in her name—Mrs. Wrightsman was a paragon of taste and collecting. She found inspiration from women patrons throughout history, not just of the visual arts, but also literature, philosophy, and the sciences.
