Millions Spent on
Art in New York
New Vork, Jan. 22. (Special)
Every once in a while a great
painting changes hand at a figure that
appears to be very largo and the
public become cognizannt of the fact
that an immense commerce in art is
going on under its very nose in New
York. A multimillionaire acquires a
masterpiece that for centuries hfas been
practically hidden in a residence
abroad, or as happened the other day,
a famous tenor uses some of his im
mense earnings to purchase a Rem
brandt and a Whistler, and for a
moment people outsido of actual col
lections and dealers are interested but
millions of dollars change hands every
season in New York, at public art
auction sales alone, and the present
year is bound to eclipse in magnitude
all that have gone before. This busi
ness of art sales is as well established
here as that of coal and iron. The
vast proportion of it is not in -iew
works, but in old, and it is different
therefore from any other business of
large proportions. Its patrons have
a double distinction. Art collectors
must necessarily have surplus money
and the spending of money in this way
marks a man as having at least the
desire for culture. One fact is notice
able in art dealing in this country, and
that is while it is growing in pro
portions Americans are becoming
more critical and learning in their
tastes and are displaying their know
ledge in their purchafies.
Iiouck White, pastor of tho Church
of Social Revolution, author and col
lege graduate, has been indicted, to
gether with eight of his followers,
charged with destroying an American
Hag.
