Neither Etta nor Claribel Cone had any formal artistic training, but that didn't stop the Baltimore sisters from assembling an acclaimed collection of 20th Century art, including works of Picasso, Matisse, Manet, and others. The Cone Collection at the Baltimore Museum of Art is one of the city's - and the world's -- great treasures. The Cone sisters' unlikely rise to greatness in the world of art collecting is detailed in the book, The Cone Sisters of Baltimore: Collecting at Full Tilt, by their great-niece, Nancy Hirschland Ramage. (Originally broadcast 8/18/2008.)
