Influential banker and patron of the arts Otto Kahn (1867-1934) played a leading role in reorganizing the U.S. railroad systems, supporting the Allied war effort in World War I, and promoting New York arts and artists. In this cultural biography Theresa Collins examines Kahn's banking and patronage activities to show how he pointedly sought to fuse money, art, and geopolitics.
