      The history of art collecting and museums in the United States includes fascinating stories of the relations between collectors and dealers. One such account involves Henry Walters (1848-1931) and the dealer Dikran G. Kelekian (1868-1951), who played a major role in the formation of Mr. Walters' encyclopedic holdings and was particularly influential in Walters' acquisitions of Islamic art. This article documents Henry Walters' decades-long association with Kelekian in the context of his varying interests in and reasons for collecting the arts of the Islamic world. (English)
