“I do not want Picasso because I don’t know who to sell them too (sic),” Valentine Dudensing hastily wrote to Pierre Matisse in early November 1928. In his role as the Paris-based agent for the F. Valentine Dudensing Gallery, Pierre Matisse (1900–1989) scouted for artwork in galleries, auctions, and artists’ studios for Dudensing (1892–1967) to sell in New York.
