Note du spécialiste

"In 1950, on the recommendation of Alfred Barr, I visited the Perls Galleries to look for paintings by contemporary Latin American artists. While I was there, I happened to see this Dufy painting of Ascot. I asked Peggy to look at it, and we decided to buy it...Today, it hangs in our bedroom at Ringing Point." —David Rockefeller
