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.
