An American client from the mid-west contacted us in 2000 wanting advice on starting a collection. He had recently sold his company and wanted to invest his time and money in something worthwhile. He enjoyed learning about different periods of art and relative values. We helped him acquire pieces of lasting value and interest, from a Renoir portrait of a girl (who reminded him of his niece) to a large Marino Marini oil and this Marini sculpture, Piccolo Cavaliere.
