Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st. xvii, 420 pages, [16] pages of plates, illustrations (some colour); 25 cm. PRESENTATION COPY. Signed and warmly inscribed by the author. A near-fine copy of the first printing, tips lightly bumped. Stated First Edition. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover.… *** "Nicholas Fox Weber, author of the acclaimed Patron Saints ('Exhilarating avant-garde entertainment'--Sam Hunter, The New York Times Book Review) and Balthus ('The authoritative account of his life and work'--Michael Ravitch, Newsday), gives us now the idiosyncratic lives of Sterling and Stephen Clark --wo of America's greatest art collectors, heirs to the Singer sewing machine fortune, and for decades enemies of each other. He tells the story, as well, of the two generations that preceded theirs, giving us an intimate portrait of one of the least known of America's richest families. He begins with Edward Clark--the brothers' grandfather, who amassed the Clark fortune in the late-nineteenth century--a man with nerves of steel; a Sunday school teacher who became the business partner of the wild inventor and genius Isaac Merritt Singer. And, by the turn of the twentieth century, was the major stockholder of the Singer Manufacturing Company. We follow Edward's rise as a real estate wizard making headlines in 1880 when he commissioned Manhattan's first luxury apartment building. The house was called 'Clark's Folly'; today it's known as the Dakota. We see Clark's son--Alfred--enigmatic and famously reclusive; at thirty-eight he inherited $50 million and became one of the country's richest men. An image of propriety--good husband, father of four--in Europe, he led a secret homosexual life. Alfred was a man with a passion for art and charity, which he passed on to his four sons, in particular Sterling and Stephen Clark. Sterling, the second-oldest, buccaneering and controversial, loved impressionism, created his own museum in Williamstown, Massachusetts and shocked his family by marrying an actress from the Comedie Francaise. Together the Sterling Clarks collected thousands of paintings and bred racehorses. In a highly public case, Sterling sued his three brothers over issues of inheritance, and then never spoke to them again. He was one of the central figures linked to a bizarre and little-known attempted coup against Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidency. We are told what really happened and why--and who in American politics was implicated but never prosecuted. Sterling's brother Stephen--self-effacing and responsible--became chairman and president of the Museum of Modern Art and gave that institution its first painting, Edward Hopper's House by the Railroad. Thirteen years later, in an act that provoked intense controversy, Stephen dismissed the Museum's visionary founding director, Alfred Barr, who for more than a decade had single-handedly established the collection and exhibition programs that determined how the art of the twentieth century was regarded. Stephen gave or bequeathed to museums many of the paintings that today are still their greatest attractions. With authority, insight, and a flair for evoking time and place, Weber examines the depths of the brothers passions, the vehemence of their lifelong feud, the great art they acquired, and the profound and lasting impact they had on artistic vision in America. / Nicholas Fox Weber was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and graduated from Columbia College and Yale University. He has curated retrospectives of the work of Josef Albers and Anni Albers, and is the director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. He is the author of twelve previous books. He lives in Bethany, Connecticut, and Paris." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. SIGNED. Collectible.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. When Edward Clark became business partner to the inventor Isaa Merritt Singer, he would shrewdly lay the seeds of a unimaginable family fortune that would trickle down to establish one of the preeminent art collection families in America. 'Clarks of Cooperstown' chronicles the tumultous sibling rival be…tween Edward's grandsons, Sterling and Stephen Clark, and the public yet polar lives the brothers lead. Sterling a flamboyant rebel would elope with a French comedy actress, Stephen would become chairman and president of MOMA. And biographer Nicholas Fox Weber examines the depths of the Clark family obsession to shape the course of the 20th century American art world.
