A museum person has to be fast on his feet-a scholar, a collector, a dealer and a showman all mixed with diplomacy. Sachs was all these things...

Grand Prix really has no color either, only color tone carefully inserted by the laboratories, probably when they discovered that no one involved in making the picture had done anything about planning or controlling the color.
