EXHIBITIONIST: Earl Stendahl, Art Dealer as Impresario No one was more passionate than Earl Stendahl about turning a client on to the joy of the hunt and the satisfaction of the perfect art acquisition. Stendahl's discovery in the 1930s of the beauty and mystery of Pre-Columbian art led to the Stendahl Galleries reputation as the foremost authority and promoter of ancient art of the Americas. The Stendahl story (featuring more than two hundred photographs) is at its heart a Los Angeles story, peopled with celebrities, rocked by scandal, full of failure and triumph. The book is also personal. Stendahl was author April's husband's grandfather. She knew him—the exhibitionist who prevailed against all odds and inspired a family business that has lasted one hundred years.
