AMERICANS AS ART Observation-Disclosures
Angst OF the Swiss National Museum will discuss
in his forthcoming annual report recent American
influence upon the European market for antique
objects Of art pointing out that while American
collectors formerly bought single objects like their
European rivals. the later American generation OF
n1illionaires buys entire collections at once at
nriccs utterly excluding European bidders. Such
buying the director will say, gives the purchaser
guarantee Of the genuneness of the objects since
they We're gathered by painstaking connoisseurs.
Director Angst attributes this innovation to the
rapid creation Of American millionaires through
the recent great trusts and refers to J. Pierport
Morgan's purchase for 10000 OF Mannhem's ia
collection Of Tnajolicas faIences. bronzes,
etc, in Paris. Such purchases the director as
serts. en- iTreparahle loss 20 Europe. He ad-
,nts that Mr.. Morgan. Mr.. Carnegie and others
Will either open their collections TO the public or
give them outright 10 museums. adding:
The Hberality with which rich Americans treat
the museums OF their country throws into the
shade everything hitherto seen in Europe"
Director Angst also refers to the enormous ad-
in prices through American buyings. partfcu-
larry mentioning old Zurich porcelains.
