“I have had just about all I can take of myself.”
S. N. Behrman

“As a novice in collecting,’ he said with a modesty not unlike Bache’s, ‘I expected to have to pay the highest prices for masterpieces. What I did not expect, what I was to discover, was that I would also have to pay a large premium for the privilege of paying the highest prices!”
S.N. Behrman, Duveen: The story of the most spectacular art dealer of all time

“Making his clients conscious that whereas he had unique access to great art, his outlets for it were multiple, he watched their doubts about the prices of the art evolving into more acute doubts about whether he would let them buy it.”
S.N. Behrman, Duveen: The story of the most spectacular art dealer of all time
