Synopsis
A "Smithsonian World" presentation unraveling the tale of the long-lost art collection of Henri Vever, a celebrated Parisian jeweler, connoisseur, and leader in the Art Nouveau movement. His collection of Persian and Indian paintings from the 14th through the 18th century "disappeared" in occupied France during World War II. Forty years later it "resurfaced" and was eventually acquired by the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, the Smithsonian's museum of Asian art.
