TrfE LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER Page Elglit f'The Gift Store For Men fsjft OFFERS NEWLY ARRIVED MEIi- ' CHANDISE FOR YOUR LAST J&wIY MINUTE SELECTION. f'S Humor And Tragedy Back ' Of Art Collection Sales NKW VOJiK, (AH) Many glories of humor and tragedy are behind New York's celebrated art MihH, with tlK-lr KathcrlngM of the country '8 uocial elite. The newly rich provide much of the, comedy. They not lee their more cultured friend' urt collect ion) and leurn that it i well to he known us u lover of art. So oft they ko collecting various und nun dry objects, many- of them anius- These expeditions fretiucnlly re sult In u real knowledge of urt, however, for with the purchase, of the first treasure comes a fascin ation which leads u person to fur ther buying. This creates a desire to kpow what It is all about. When the Achlllilo Chiisa as sortment was sold here recently it marked the end of collecting by the Ohiisa family. Achille fhiesa amiissed a fort unf at M ihi n and devoted the faculty of astuteness thai had brought him wen It h to the Htudy and acquisition of works of art. lie died and his son in herited pari of the fortune and ;i great share of the collector's in stinct. Achlllilo bought until tin col lection reached a remarkable liigh total In dollars. He mad juireluises,, however, largely credit and -4 he time came vh-n committees of bankers und other creditors were formed. The Italian Kovernhient tried to wave the col led Ion, ''but. finally it was s-nt to the 'American Art (lallerles, in New York, -lor dispositor. i'vath of the Collectors and 1he passing xif their collecllons to rela tives or friends who have not the same love for art often is the cause of Hules, Numerous collections also designate l)tw their property is lo be disposed of after death. . Hales of old homes also are res ponsible, for the disposition of art objects, i'; K. (i. Hillings, known I hroughout the country for his love" if horses, had a large, collec tion! o treasures at Kort Try on llall in this city. When he sold the' place to John I). Rockefeller. Jr., and moved to California, lie decided to dispose of tt few of the greatest modern masterpieces in his possession. The Hale will he theld here next luujdh. Art. auctions are iu;irked by great formality. The floors of exhibition rooms are covered with rut-'H and carpets so deep and thick that there Is no sound of the tread. Comments on various ob jects must be given la hushed tones. t JJidding, however, crcutes a snb-duj-d excitement. Two urt lovers find they want the same treasure and for -a few minutes the situa tion Is tense ns the bids mount higher. An eight and a half inch Staffordshiro tray brought Sl.Kiio. Uu anotiier ocus.sion a unit of arm or sold for J13.HM). . Koine collectors have agents to do their bidding or buy under un sullied names to protect themselves from thieves anil an avalanche of letters from, nil parts of the world, l-'or onc it becomes known that a person )ias acquired it- valuable ob ject, It becomes subject to the at tention of art lovers who desire information and thieves who desire more than information. To one who has witnessed horse sides and land auctions, where the auctioneer talks like a machine Kiin and conducts hiinself with dig nity common to a three-ring cir cus, the appelalion "auctioneer" ippeais uii a misfit for the compla cent und qtiiet-munnered salesman who officiates in art unction nul- his ' (din. lint regardless of surroundings, an auctioneer Is an auctioneer and no movement for a change In the art auctioneer's title is evident.
