I said, "Okay.". JUDITH RICHARDS: And issues or concerns about it, too. I'm trying to remember the estimate; I think the estimate was either [$]2 to 3 million, or 1.5 to 2.5, but it was very enticing compared to the asking price. JUDITH RICHARDS: So you describe the place you live in Boston as not as having one work of art, right now. All the time. You have to understand, I think, that at the core it's about the object for me; it's about theit's about the artwork. So we just talked all night in the lounge at the hotel, the whole night, just, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, about this painting and that painting, where it came from andyou know. What we can do, though, is we can use the tools of taste-making to try toyou know, again, our market is so small that an expansion of one collector is a significant expansion. They had wonderful people. So of theof the monochromes, the earlier pieces, I only have maybe 20 pieces left. I don't know if, CLIFFORD SCHORER: I don't know if I would say collecting books. And so, you know, I bought a territory with a partner, and we have a territory, and basically, you know, we go to an annual meeting, and we have a dinner with the managers, and that's ourso, in a sense, I was able to sort of extract myself from project-based businesses to at least have this background income that would support a very marginal lifestyle, which is what I live. So, you know, you think about the quality of the art, but also the taste choices that one makes at any given moment in the history of the firm. It is in watercolour and pencil. I'm trying to think what other fairs we've done. JUDITH RICHARDS: Was that coincidence that you ran into them? That was sort of my. [Laughs.] You know, all of those things, and then you just let go, and it's, you knowit is aI think my psychology is well suited for that in a sense, because I don't have this great lust for the object; I have the lust for the moments that, you know, that sort of [00:36:00]. CLIFFORD SCHORER: I'm not smart enough to make an artist's reputation from whole cloth, soand I'm also not manipulative enough to make an artist's reputation by employing strategic curators to insert them into collections. Contact Reference Services for more information. [00:56:00], CLIFFORD SCHORER: I do like art storage and handling. He and I. Or you were philosophically opposed to it? And I was doing independent study, but at the same time, I was offered an incredible programming job at Gillette. I wanted to have a three-day ceratopsian symposium, which they did a wonderful job of. I was there, and it was fun, and it was interesting. JUDITH RICHARDS: You're serving as your own contractor? CLIFFORD SCHORER: No, they close rooms. I'm thinking that we want Agnew's to be scaled for the marketplace, and I don't think that being that large is the correct scale today. And all, you know, Hungarian and Germanit was mostlyhis world was primarily German, Austro-Hungarian, and all the occupied territories from the First and Second World War. It was the High Baroque of Rome. Retouching, restoration [00:44:00]. JUDITH RICHARDS: at the very beginning. And when I saw the numbersand it was the same little fudge. It got out of hand, and I made a concerted effort to say, you know, "I have to scale this down, because if I fall down dead tomorrow, someone's going to have, you know, I would say, a William Randolph Hearst-scale cleanup to do. I mean, I would say, JUDITH RICHARDS: You were stillyou were living in the house that you bought. We've been using their fabrics as our wall coverings in our booths, and, you know, amazing. CLIFFORD SCHORER: There were a billion people in 1900. He was a dealer and, you know, and an ennobled Italian, and it was in his collection. I'm done. I didn't want sunlight. And he started me on collecting, actually. They want to hear what's the number and, you know, "When can you pay me?" And I remember the Museum of Natural History, which haunted me later as an obsession with paleontology. H-A-E-F-T-E-N. And Otto Naumann. And his son became a future employee, so. "I want to collect from the beginning, in the early 18th century, to the present; I wantI want this kind of collection or that kind of collection? [Laughs.] So, yeah. CLIFFORD SCHORER: That is related to Agnew's. It was called the Professors ProgramUniversity Professors Program. I mean, they dealt in the Pre-Raphaelites when they were contemporary art. This would've beenI was 17 when I left. And eventually we agreed to part friends. CLIFFORD SCHORER: G-A-T-I-A. The reality was, it was cheap. And they're outside smoking cigarettes, and they're not talking about art. I never thought, frankly, it was a field of complexity enough to warrant even reading about it. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Michael Ripps, who's a scholar who has worked with the Frick on a number of sort of investigations of the art market and things like that, he came to me, and he said, you know, "You should meet with Julian Agnew, because they're selling the library and maybe more." And she got tired [00:20:02]. My mother wasmy mother was a single mother who was living away from the house 90 percent of the time. So, yes, I mean, obviously there is this interplay between the marketplace and the art historical importance. CLIFFORD SCHORER: That was based on opportunism, because some of the greatestsix of the greatest Pre-Raphaelite paintings ever made were available to us at that moment. Another gallery, a different gallery? JUDITH RICHARDS: Thinking of boyhood passions, you talked about war, and did you ever want to collect armor? JUDITH RICHARDS: When did thisand so that's. But the languages that I really learned and loved were French and the Slavic languages. So in this case, we were able to do something which German museumsGerman state museums with historical arthave traditionally said no to. JUDITH RICHARDS: Well, I want to talk about the gallery tomorrow. And those days are now over, because the auction companies have created a broader market. And so, you know, I hadI marched myself right downstairs, and I said, you know, "Come on, guys, that's notyou know that's not me." So you have lots of interesting things in Bulgaria, but they're basically in the sort of, you know, big, communist, ornate, central museum in Sofia. CLIFFORD SCHORER: A 110-foot whale, very big specimen. And I knew those as pivot points in the history of the world. So, you know, when bold ideas come, I'm the kind of, you know, the vetting board for the bold ideas, and I enjoy that. But I do see that I have to be conscious of the conflicts of interest, and that conflict of interest also impacts theyou know, I don't want the collectors who buy from Agnew's to think that they're getting second shot at things that I've already vetted and said I don't want for myself. You know, with the exception, of course, of some of the contemporary galleries which are really making the money. To me, the Met is visiting friends, you know, visiting pictures that, you know, I know from [laughs]I look at the granular level of certain paintings because I know them very well. CLIFFORD SCHORER: the flotsam and jetsam. CLIFFORD SCHORER: The family, yeah. And I think, in a way, my art world is still centered in London a little bit. This isto me, this is one of the great paintings of Procaccini. To me, what's happened is, it's a lifestyle that maybe is going away, the lifestyle of the sort of dedicated scholar, in high, euphemistic quotes, collector who would buy one major painting per year, who would study, study, study, study, study until they found that moment, and then it would come and they would buy it, and they put it in their collection, and then they die with a 29-painting collection that's extraordinary. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Yeah, that's like $100,000 to half a million, and that's not the weakest. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Not a registrar. So if Anthony says, you know, "We've got this great work"if he came to me tomorrow and said, "I've got this masterpiece by Rubens that we can buy," it would break my heart, but I would understand that, you know, despite that being a lifelong goal is to have that picture, I understand that that's going to have to be offered through the gallery, and that I'm going to have to be hands-off, which is why it's best just to simply pause in the collecting. I'm not in Boston that often anymore, and I have no art in that house at all. "Oh, okay, thisall this 19th-century porcelain. [1:02:00]. He says, "No, I didn't." And they didn't hire me as a senior programmer analyst, but they did hire me as a programmer analyst. JUDITH RICHARDS: And the insurance? You know, that wasn't interesting to me. The Allori that was sold at Northeast Auctioneers, which came from the Medici Archives, and I found it in the Medici Archives two hours before the auction. And that was another thing, too. CLIFFORD SCHORER: And there was a lecture going on in front of my painting, with a big group of people, and somebody talking about the Counter-Reformation. If we rely upon the aesthetic of our art and say, Here it is. It was, you know, it was Rome. So I love to do a little bit of everything. So because I happened to be going to all of these events, I would see the object. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Yeah. So, I was in Plovdiv and, you know, had a good time with wandering around, you know. It was very early. And often. But I think it was just muscle memory at that point, so. CLIFFORD SCHORER: in another city. You know, I'd justI would just go there. And the market was not very discerning, because there were enough people in it to absorb all that material. [00:26:00] And not only the real deal, but it was the genesis of seven other copies that have all been variously considered either by van Dyck or byyou know, one is in Hampton Court; one is in the Hermitage. CLIFFORD SCHORER: You know that these regional areas in Bulgaria were the places where they found the Thracian gold hoards, and then, of course, the national government took it all away from them. You know, someI mean, certainly, the newer collectors who are in the Dutch and Flemish world, I think they're less scholar-collectors. [00:36:00]. JUDITH RICHARDS: You mentioned the Snyders House, the Rubens House, and one more. [They laugh.]. And I tried for one of them, but it wasyou know, it was because it was terribly underestimated, but of course, the marketplace knew how to make it 700 percent of its high estimate. That part of your life expand that way? Winslow Homer was a private man, and with good reason. The divorce began when I was four. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Now, again, that's a collecting area that was most popular between 1890 and 1910, 1915. JUDITH RICHARDS: There are new warehouses all the time, I think, going up, and there's that new one in Long Island City. I'm improving the collection. JUDITH RICHARDS: grinding your own pigments. ", So he called them over, and I said, "This is amazing, but why is this an antiquity? [00:42:00], CLIFFORD SCHORER: we closed, yeah, yeah. CLIFFORD SCHORER: And, you know, I visit English country homes now with Agnew's all the time, and I see these panel paintings that have been hanging in the same spot for 350 or 400 years, CLIFFORD SCHORER: And they're in good shape, because the English climate is very humid. A picture should not reappear three times [laughs] on the market. You know, it was important to me that that's the type of person, you know, sink or swim, whetheryou know, I didn't want a shark. So that's a hugeI mean, fiscally, they were on a path to 10 years and the money would be gone, back in the day, because you know, they were spending eight to nine percent plus capital, you know, plus cap ex, and you can't do that, you know; grandma's jewels only last so long. A preparatory drawing surfaced that scholarship saidand it was not available. [Affirmative.] CLIFFORD SCHORER: You know, to me there is where thethat's the crux of the fear. CLIFFORD SCHORER: And then there's the collection that I was able to acquire that stimulated some of the same nerve cells, but possibly the L-DOPA levels were a little lower. And, you know, for example, Anthony decided he wanted to do a Lotte Laserstein show. Yes, there are big, big changes. CLIFFORD SCHORER: So, I have had some issues because, obviously, living in Boston, New England, you have the humidity problems, and I had a lot of paintings on panel. Without that, we could not feed these people. Having old art in New England is not the easiest thing, because of humidity control, which is almost impossible. CLIFFORD SCHORER: And I did start to back some. JUDITH RICHARDS: So they were very strict with provenance restrictions. And you have to do that, I think, because, again, this is a small market with limited opportunities, and you have to work very hard at the ones you have. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Of course, I saw their objects. CLIFFORD SCHORER: I consider to be respectable parameters. Jon Landau I certainly know more. CLIFFORD SCHORER: They have their own studio. [00:28:00], JUDITH RICHARDS: What about relationships with galleries and auction houses specifically? I used to go to TEFAF all the time. I lived in Massapequa, Long Island, for probably an extended period; I would say from about age seven until aboutactually, from about age eight until about 13. My father got me fired. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Because I'm in Beacon Hill, I'm going to the local auctions; I'm going to all the auctions. 0. I read that it's your first business involvement with an art gallery, or an arts institution. So all day and night we send pictures back and forth by WhatsApp going, "Do we think this is this? So that is something I did with them. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Because the people I knew [laughs] when I was 17 were 60. So they're happy to watch us fight over the garbage. And he's deceased now. At some point. 2023-03-24. JUDITH RICHARDS: So you're relying on people in the field, aren't you? [Affirmative.] CLIFFORD SCHORER: Well, the dealers that I would say, you know, rise to the level ofeven though they're inadvertent, because they don't know that they areI would say mentors, Johnny Van Haeften and Otto Naumann for sure. So it's, to me, those moments. And then my junior year, after, I think, the second or third day, I quit high school. But I didn't buy it with much of a focus on the painting itself. So if Anthony decides he wants to do a show, they get together; they decide what the show will be, and then Anna takes charge of all the sort of managerial tasks involved with that. [00:48:00]. CLIFFORD SCHORER: in the fine art world, it wasn't there. Had you been thinking about it? I said, "One of the greatest bronzes on the planet is in Plovdiv in the Communist Workers' Party headquarters in a plastic box." So the Museum of Fine Arts school in BostonI took my one class in Renaissance painting technique. I'm not, JUDITH RICHARDS: Is there a board that you're, CLIFFORD SCHORER: The structure is executive director is Anthony Crichton-Stuart, yeah. Audio, digital, wav; 110 Pages, Transcript. I mean, you know, when I think back to the Guercino that, you know, I find in a little catalogue, and then I do the work, you know, it is very gratifying to have something, especially something like van Dyck, which is, to me, you know, in the pantheon of gods.
