The book reports that Hammer used his position as a trustee of the Los Angeles County Art Museum to hoodwink the museum out of a collection of drawings by the French caricaturist Honore Daumier. When Hammer learned that the collector was about to sell the works to the museum in 1975 for $250,000, he won agreement to buy them himself for the same sum on the promise that he would promptly donate them to the museum and take a tax deduction. Hammer bought the drawings but never did turn them over to the museum. (English)
