He eventually fled to the United States where he was attached to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York through the auspices of the director, Francis Henry Taylor. As a curator, he once convinced the colorful mayor of New York, Fiorello La Guardia (1882-1947), who happened to be attending a Met acquisitions meeting, to vote for the acquisition of a Francois Clouet painting simply because the subject had been a mayor. Sterling wrote the three-volume catalog of the French paintings for the Met and taught his first classes in art history. He returned to the Louvre in 1945, but remained partially on the Met staff until 1955. (English)
