In every medium there are culture heroes whose work is even more admired by fellow artists than by the general public--the painters' painters Velazquez and Cezanne come to mind, as do the architects' architects Louis Kahn and Carlo Scarpa. Even in today's fiercely competitive art and antiques market, peer-group esteem among top-tier collectors survives as one of the few things money alone cannot buy. Collectors' collectors can be as antithetical as the courtly, scholarly Henry Francis du Pont and the raffish, intuitive Sam Wagstaff. But all are alike in possessing diligent expertise, instinctive taste, and that all-important "eye."
