About This Item
Algonquin Books, 2015. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Fine in equally fine, price clipped dust jacket. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. 333 pp. By the author of wonderful art-world suspense novel "The Art Forger", the story of Alizee Benoit, a young American painter working for the Works Progress Adminbistration (WPA) in 1930s New York City. Alizee vanishes in 1940 and no one knows what happened to her---not her Jewish family living in German-occupied France; not her atr patron and political compatriot Eleanor Roosevelt, and not her close-knit group of friends and fellow WPA artists that includes Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Lee Krasner. Some seventy years later, her great niece, working at Christie's auction house, uncovers enigmatic paintings hidden behind works of those now famous Abstract Expressionist artists. Do they hold answers to the questions surrounding her missing aunt?
