Author: James J. Rorimer and Louis Rorimer and Anne Rorimer, Foreword by Lynn Nicholas

Publisher: Rizzoli Electa

This new edition of a book by James Rorimer, leading figure in the art recovery unit known as the Monuments Men, an elite group imbedded in the US Army, who risked their lives during World War II to save Europe’s greatest artworks from Hitler’s grasp, was first published in 1950. It includes a wealth of new imagery and ephemera uncovered during extensive research, including WWII photographs, many taken by Rorimer himself, that are accompanied by gorgeous reproductions of many of the Old Masters.

I worked closely with the authors and editor to research all of the images for this beautiful new edition of the book. It was released in March 2022.
