...late wife Harriet had winnowed from a lifetime of art purchases. Valued at upwards of $2,000,000, they range from Italian Futurist Umberto Boccioni's 1913 Dynamism of a Soccer Player, through Arp, Klee, Pollock, De Kooning, and wind up with portraits of Janis by Segal and Marisol. The onetime maker of M'Lord Shirts bought his first Matisse in 1926, went on to become one of Manhattan's most successful art dealers.
