For those of us who adore French art and culture , a visit to the Albertine on Fifth Avenue , a block south of The Metropolitan Museum will be in order This article in The NY Times tells this delightful story - https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/23/t-magazine/albertine-french-bookstore-new-york-212.html?unlocked_article_code=1.kE4.2cLG.nmYf-f8gQG2m&smid=url-share ( no paywall ) AND if you are planning a visit to NY City , you will not want to miss this upcoming blockbuster show at the Met - https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/sargent-and-paris Brfore you come , I highly recommend reading David McCullough's fine book " The Greater Journey : Americans in Paris "

There is a new book out this November about Sargent's relationship with the Wertheimer family.
I recommend the review in the NYRB but not the one in TNY

I don't have HBO but I understand that Sargent appears as a character in season 3 of "The Gilded Age"
