SARGENTS WORKS SOLD
BROOKLYN GETS SO OF
HIS WATER COLORS.
Museum to Haze Entire Collection
of Painters Summer Sketches,
Bought for $50, 900.

The directors of the Brooklyn Institute Of
Arts and Sciences yesterday afternoon pur-
chased from John S. Sargent the American por-
trait painter. the eighty three water colors
which he has exhibition at Knoedler's
Art Gallery, Fifth avenue and 35th street. Man
haitian There he has been exhibiting the works
in conjunction with a friend Edward barley
Bolt. who has also exhibition of paintings
on view
The paintings cost the institute $4,000. They
will soon be taken to Brooklyn and placed in
the Brooklyn Museum. in Eastern Parkway. un-
der the direction of Professor William H. Good
year. curator Of fine arts
The paintings represent the artists work for
the last fifteen or sixteen summers Several
persons have tried to buy the productions, but
the artist has been unwilling to have the col
lection broken.
President A. Augustus Healy of the Brooklyn
institutes board Of directors saw the paintings
and was so greatly impressed by them that he
at once sent a cable message to the artist, who
is in London, and asked him at what price he
held the collection. Mr.. Sargent is a personal
friend of Mr. sHealy, and has painted his portrait
An option was soon arranged. and at yester-
days meeting of the institutes board of direc-
tors Mr.. Healy proposed the purchase of the
collection. His proposals were acted upon IA
vorably. and another cable message was sent
to the artist. which closed the deal.
The collection has gained much fame, and has
been the subject of highly favorable criticisms.
Some of the paintings have frequently been re
produced in newspapers and periodicals. The
exhibition opened at Knoedlers last Monday
and will continue a week longer. The collection
will then be carried to Boston. where 1t will re-
main for a couple of weeks After that. il IS
believed, it will be placed in the Brooklyn Mu-
scum. Several changes in the arrangement Of
the pictures now in the galleries will be neces-
sary to accommodate the new purchase.
While the Brooklyn institute will pay for the
paintings from it's funds, the directors may also.
it is understood. ask for contributions from the
patrons. In case such request is found expe-
dent, it is said that Mr.. HeaIy will himself
meet a large part of the expense.
Art connoisseurs said last night that this pur-
chase was one OF the most important made in
this city in years, and that by the acquisition
