Maritime Maverick: The Collection Of William I. Koch

GRANBY, Alan and HYLAND, Janice [244] pp. David R. Godine Publisher 2006 12 3/8" x 13 1/2" "As a sailor and a collector, Bill Koch has always been a maverick. Under his command, a campaign based on science surprised the world in 1992 by capturing the America's Cup. And as a highly personal collector, he has brought together a collection of masterworks that speak of his love of art and his love of the sea and all of its traditions, and his respect for and understanding of maritime tradition." "This collection, formed with the experienced knowledge of a sailor and the selective eye of a collector, is the mirror of a man who approaches art with both reverence and a clear sense of what he likes. It will provide weeks of pleasure to any serious antique collector, art lover, or blue-blooded sailor.".
