CLIFFORD SCHORER: That's all over the place. You know, from the slaves of West Africa, to the sugar, to the rum, to the plates, to the spices. Yeah, to me, and I was excited, so excited. He's making these decisions, which you approve of, JUDITH RICHARDS: and then you're going out, CLIFFORD SCHORER: Yeah, yeah. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Now, the difference is if the artist is alive, and the dealer is alive, and you've got, you know, sort of some other motivations. JUDITH RICHARDS: Yeah. JUDITH RICHARDS: Okay. And now I think there's a very good process in place. Anyway, so I asked about the price of that, and I think it was 765,000, which was actually attainable for me. Well, the word was out that they were closing the gallery. Of course. [Laughs. It was basicallythey didn't tell me who bought it, but they told me it was reserved, and then shortly thereafter I learned the National Gallery in Washington bought it. However Selina held upon the woman's dignity by not really responding. I said, "Well, what does that mean, 'involved'?" I mean, it went from, you know, plastic box in Plovdiv to now, you know, altar throne in the Sofia National Museum via the London, you know, RA show on the greatest bronzes. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Right. JUDITH RICHARDS: Did you acquire any friends? She's great. What I would have done was purchase the assets; I would have purchased the library. JUDITH RICHARDS: And since your background, in part, was business, JUDITH RICHARDS: it would be fascinating to look at that example. [Laughs.] World War II. It's obviously spelled in a different alphabet. And I remember coming around the corner and seeing something so staggeringly, unbelievably great that I couldn't believe it. I know you read books. CLIFFORD SCHORER: we made everything. But what I picked up, obviously, had an impact. He was a television actor, and now he's an attorney in the U.K., so. So Ibasically, I lost it marginally. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Yeah. So you haveyou know, you haveif you added all of that up and then inflated that with inflation, it probably still wouldn't equal one major sale today, because art inflation is actually much higher than monetary inflation. I mean, it was, you know. And you know, I got to know him less and less during that period. And that's actually harder than one thinks for some of the types of art I'm talking about. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Total coincidence. I mean [00:47:59]. But, you know, that, to me, is all very rewarding. So, you know, in a sense, there was ajust a moment, and that momentif that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have bought the company. And I mean, when Iaestheticsmy aesthetics are a little sensitive, so I do haveI did buy a Gropius house that Hans Wegner did the interior of. JUDITH RICHARDS: And you wanted to live in the middle of nowhere? Every time they issue a word I take it. But art has consumed all of the oxygen in my room. They had wonderful people. Those days are long over. CLIFFORD SCHORER: I soldI sold maybe 16 pieces at auction. JUDITH RICHARDS: Yes. You know, that was the biggest problem. Likewise, have there been specific curatorsyou mentioned manywho have played an important part in your education, in your development of your interests? CLIFFORD SCHORER: But still, it was him doing a kind of an Egyptian Fayum portrait, which was really wonderful. CLIFFORD SCHORER: See, I don't want to seem like. And that was another thing, too. Like, get a sense of what it meant to him? [They laugh.]. It hadeffectively, it had been on the market for 25 or 30 years. Listing of the Day Location: Provincetown, MassachusettsPrice: $3.399 million This starkly modern and dramatic home was built in 2013 as a guesthouse to an adjacent flat-roofed, glass . I mean, if someone told me, every year, I'm going to buy one great Dutch picture, I'd say, Well, that's a fool's philosophy in terms of collecting. Thatyou know, the sophistication of the buyer and the marketplace in Old Masters is not going to be swayed in any way by [laughs], you know, that you had something on view momentarily, you know, in a museum; because you leveraged your ego or your money, or whatever it was, they've got your picture on view. [Laughs.] CLIFFORD SCHORER: Yeah. But I just didn't have enough practice. So, you know, we may not necessarily be the origin of all the writings, but we're a part of it, so we can contribute to, you know, the fundraising effort to write a catalogue, and we can give the pictures; we can do this; we can do that. [00:06:00], JUDITH RICHARDS: You've talked about competition a bit; in fact, in a very knowing way. What kind of high school experience did you have? That I was. So I had actuallyI was doing something which, in hindsight, was very foolish. I mean, I'm not writing 400-page tomes on, you know, theyou know, the Old Testament series of Rubens. Just to pick up a little bit from where we left off yesterday, this is still before Agnew's enters the picturein the earlyinaroundso you're collecting Italian Baroque, as you described it yesterday. Retouching, restoration [00:44:00]. Are there light issues with the materials that you collect, and has that beenor had an impact on your home? $17. You know what I mean. I'll look it up afterwards. And I could buy that at, you know, the auctions. [00:24:00], JUDITH RICHARDS: So going back to the export porcelain. So. JUDITH RICHARDS: In all those years when you were collecting in the field of Chinese porcelain, did you think it wasperhaps you should learn a bit of Chinese since you're so good at computer languages? JUDITH RICHARDS: Is this inbased in Londonbased in Boston? CLIFFORD SCHORER: So I don't want to really have things that can be damaged by other people's negligence, so it's just better not to do it. [00:34:02], CLIFFORD SCHORER: Well, that touches on another one of my collecting areas, actually. Thereas I mentioned, I had been chasing in 2000 this Procaccini, this major Procaccini altarpiece, which I was not able to buy, and it was theit was with Hall & Knight, and it was at TEFAF, and it was one of those TEFAFs that you go home utterly devastated. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Butyeah, I mean, there are occasionswe did a 5,000 years of portraiture show with an Egyptian Fayum and a Lucien Freud. It's like a girl reappearing three times on the singles market. CLIFFORD SCHORER: it's ano, it's a part gift, part sale, and in the end, it hadthe strings that I had, they met them all, which were that they're going to do a focal exhibition on paleontology in thebecause they're doing a re-jigger of many of their exhibitions. CLIFFORD SCHORER: And easy to walk around, and easy to spend three days there, you know. JUDITH RICHARDS: Is that an interesting area for you to think about, the evolving nature of art storage? That wasn't quite enough to buy much, but if you bought secondary names, which meant that you needed to know all the secondary names, and if you bought the best quality of those secondary names, you could do okay. ", CLIFFORD SCHORER: You know, I mean, "A Molenaer is more than $20,000?" Pronunciation of Clifford J. Schorer with 1 audio pronunciation and more for Clifford J. Schorer. How did that acquisition come about? I went to Harvard, I said, "I've got to get the microfilm for the Medici Archive." And I was doing independent study, but at the same time, I was offered an incredible programming job at Gillette. That is. CLIFFORD SCHORER: So when I bought my examplethe triceratopsthere was an editorial in the New York Times about my piece, saying that some rich person's going to hide it away in their castle. So if there's something I need to learn, I will learn it, you know, if I have to. So, I was in Plovdiv and, you know, had a good time with wandering around, you know. I felt very, very good about that moment, because it was ayou know, I've always been concerned about the state of van Dyck scholarship, especially recently, because. And then I moved to Boston directly. JUDITH RICHARDS: To considering and, in fact, acquiring a partialyou were the head of a group of investors, JUDITH RICHARDS: And that's been since 2014, right? So in other words . Contact Reference Services for more information. There was a Strozzi thatI was looking at Strozzi, and I was trying to figure this Strozzi painting out that I had discovered at a little auction. Yeah, well, this was an early, early. CLIFFORD SCHORER: I was a willful and independent child. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Or related to artists that are interesting to me. JUDITH RICHARDS: If there are any remnants? That part of your life expand that way? [Laughs.] CLIFFORD SCHORER: And I neededI needed to. [00:34:00]. JUDITH RICHARDS: Did you talk to him about collecting at all? So, you know, I hope that's really my contribution in that context. You know, et cetera. Oh, no. You know. JUDITH RICHARDS: Mm-hmm. Or whose voice will impact this collection that's sort of held for the public trust? And, you know, you can do that, and if it's done aesthetically well, you can show somebody that, you know, you can still have the quality and think about what a bargain it is. It took forever to renovate because I did it all myself, nights and weekends. You've talked a lot about your involvement in museums and education, so obviously you do have a sense that there's a level of responsibility when you acquire these works to share them. Massachusetts native Clifford Schorer said the painting was used as security for a loan he made to Selina Varney (now Rendall) and that he was now entitled to it, the Blake family having failed to make a claim in a US court. I mean, you know, literally, and these are Constable, Claude Lorrain, you know, Millais, you know. JUDITH RICHARDS: or show people the works there? And I went down there to go to my old cube [laughs], and it was still there. Washington,DC20001, 300 Park Avenue SouthSuite 300 CLIFFORD SCHORER: Yeah. That's always fun. And you know, we just spoke the other day. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Well, the stated goal has always been to die with one painting, the best painting I've ever owned. Yeah. But theyou know, certainly the paintingsthe early paintingsI know those roomsyou walk in, you can feel the humidity. Now you've got that top strata, which will always be high and going higher. No, as a matter of fact, I mean, obviously, we have great respect, and we like the feeling of our gallery in London, and wherever possible, if we can show a painting in kind of our home, you know, bring people into the living room and have the painting on the wall and sit down in front of it and talk about it. You know, but in general, I mean, it's usuallyshe has a pretty good eye and I respect her. So I know, for example, in Sofia that they have wonderful, you know, Mithraic panels from tombs and things, you know, from altars, because Mithraism was very big during the Roman Empire. Not just multiple helmets. So you've gotyou can put them side by side. Chief of the Investigations Division, Inspector General's Department, Inspector General's Office (Washington, DC) B ack, George Irving. So, yes. CLIFFORD SCHORER: It was a little municipal museum. And, you know, that's a fun game, and it yields some fruit, it really does. Three, four months. And she says, "Wait here." And if I had any role in thatthat they're now actually spending this big endowment they have to buy pictures and to buy art, that's exciting to me because, you know, there was a long period of time when the acquisitions were very modest, because there wasn't a thorough process to get a big purchase through. Once the stock reduces by half add in . JUDITH RICHARDS: Did you get a sense of how hehow he spent his time collecting versus what he did professionally to earn income and how he balanced that? This interview is part of the Archives of American Art Oral History Program, started in 1958 to document the history of the visual arts in the United States, primarily through interviews with artists, historians, dealers, critics and administrators. We just put our heads down into the envelopes, and start looking at them and sorting them out. And said that "If you don't fire him, I'm going to sue you." JUDITH RICHARDS: Well, Anthony was creating that kind of bridge when he brought the Bill Viola. How has it evolved? [00:42:00], CLIFFORD SCHORER: we closed, yeah, yeah. So the Museum of Fine Arts school in BostonI took my one class in Renaissance painting technique. Clifford Winslow was born on month day 1917, at birth place, North Carolina, to Claude Winslow and Mary Barbee. They wanted to put the screaming woman in the colon or something. I think they also probably were in New York at that point. [Laughs. And, you know, it's sort of rare that a dealer in 2000 could mount such an exhibition. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Which was great. 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. They didn't talk, and they weren't friendly. I love computer languages. Without synthetic fertilizers, it's impossible to feed the human race. When you were also collecting that area, did you find the need and actually, in fact, travel to other cities? CLIFFORD SCHORER: As it is by irresponsible, you know, people. Without having someone who could actually be front and center, running the business, I would not have purchased the company. So, yeah. But I met a few dealers that I still know. I mean, it was something I enjoyed doing, and I would do it again, you know? I'm projecting, you know, my sort of personal loves onto things that I'm helping the gallery find, and I'm not taking psychological possession. So. It was a kind of seeding operation, where they would send objects all over the United States. So it wasn't that I had a great knowledge; it's just that I thought Boston was very beautiful. It didn't matter to me at all. CLIFFORD SCHORER: the flotsam and jetsam. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Spending more time going back and forth, yes. I mean, which ones had merit? And they are identical sizes; they're both signed; and to me, this is the project that shows Procaccini as the truly important artist that he was, not simply a Lombard artist, but a great artist. JUDITH RICHARDS: You were 18? She shifted her little chair over, and I walked by. CLIFFORD SCHORER: It is difficult for, you know, someone who's used to running a 20,000-employee, for-profit operation to come into a 160-employee museum and understand how this expenditure furthers the mission, rather than, you know, a profit model or efficiency model. [00:29:55]. Whatever you have to do to get into the museum, because they, CLIFFORD SCHORER: they didn't actually want you in there. JUDITH RICHARDS: Are there specific publication projects that you would be interested in seeing them do? CLIFFORD SCHORER: So, no. Again, an opportunity. JUDITH RICHARDS: Were therewas it a big decision for you to become involved on that level with. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Or the auction houses, yeah. Is itis thereis it an issue that you grapple with, or is there a way that you can manage, CLIFFORD SCHORER: Sure, it impacts us all, and it impacts us all in a very fundamental way. You know, it was wonderful. CLIFFORD SCHORER: But, you know, and with the absorption of the Higgins Armory collection, the unrestricted endowment grew by 25 percent, even though the Higgins was out of money, because of the way we orchestrated that handover. JUDITH RICHARDS: What kind of institution were you in? Other kinds of pitfalls that you might, CLIFFORD SCHORER: All of the above. And I'm thinking, Who are these people? Traditional age to start college? During this period of time, the first decade of the century, were you coming across any preparatory drawings or other related material to these major works that you were studying and acquiring, or trying to acquire? CLIFFORD SCHORER: And they decided to move to, you know, some pastoral landscape down south, not knowing at all what that meant. So back then, you know, I did a lot of assembly code, and COBOL, and MDBS. CLIFFORD SCHORER: And then it moves to Amsterdam, you know. Is that something that you are thinking about? You know, fake labels from Mathias Komor. JUDITH RICHARDS: [Laughs.] I'm at my office; I'm looking the Strozzi up, and I see Worcester Art Museum, and then it dawned on me, Wait a minute, they also have that Piero di Cosimo. CLIFFORD SCHORER: No. SoAnna Cunningham; she doesshe's the one who sort ofshe keeps all the sheep herded; so she keeps us focused on what we need to do [laughs], and she manages all of the gallery operations. [Laughs.] CLIFFORD SCHORER: and previously had been unassociated. When you collect, does it play any role in what you're thinking about what? CLIFFORD SCHORER: Yes. So, it's the, CLIFFORD SCHORER: it's the hunt, the pursuit, the discovery, the investigation, the scholarship, the writing. So we had a five-yearwe had our five-year sort of anniversary. So. Directory of Profiled Business People: Clifford Schorer Schochler, Christopher - Schroeer, Jordan > Schoppers, Lynn - Schorer, Deborah > Schorer, Brittany - Schorer, Clifford > Schorer, Clifford 1 Contacts And his son, Caleb, is also deceased. And then I realized, you know, I'd read the name Worcester Art Museum, like, here and there, and I've always logged it in the back of my mind like, Oh, this must be some old collection from New England that, you know, has a few good things. So it was very depressing. It's oftenit's often not of the period. And so, yeah, I mean, there were a number of things, a number of hats that I had to shed to sort of, I think, stay within what. And, you know, so I finally acquiesced. Of the blue-and-white, and the highly decorated, sort of the Qing period stuff, that's all gone. "All in the Gay and Golden Weather", published June 12, 1869. JUDITH RICHARDS: When you say "secondary names," those are still artists who would be in museum collections? CLIFFORD SCHORER: Yeah. You know, someI mean, certainly, the newer collectors who are in the Dutch and Flemish world, I think they're less scholar-collectors. I was their last call, because they didn'tthey wanted silent investors who did what they were told to do, and I was going to be an active investor who wanted to physically see the painting, who wanted to understand their rationale for purchasing it, and who wanted to understand their pricing strategy. 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. There are some institutions now that are speaking to me about things that they've borrowed that they really feel have become integral to their hang, and they want to keep them, and so that's a harder conversation, because, A, I may not be at the point where I want to sell the work, or, B, it may not make any sense from a tax standpoint, because I have given quite a bit, so I don't have much deductibility. CLIFFORD SCHORER: That was Sotheby's New York. JUDITH RICHARDS: Why did you focus on Boston for college? Rockox. CLIFFORD SCHORER: That's a tough question. CLIFFORD SCHORER: Rightly, they show things, you know, six months every five years, to preserve the image from UV radiation. Would I go to the library and spend time studying Chinese export porcelain? So, you know, they were generally illustrated. CLIFFORD SCHORER: I'm not that intelligent. So I do have some sculptures in there. And then I'd come back and make a lot of money for three weeks [laughs], and then I'd travel for three weeks. But I think that what keeps you in historic art is that that often is where your passion is, and you're bucking the trend, the business trend, but I think that, you know, it provides you with such personal satisfaction. In some ways, things that I thought were important moments are not as important as they were, because I've seen more examples of the same idea that I thought was such a novel idea. CLIFFORD SCHORER: We will have a viewing space in New York, but that's all. Had you been involved with other institutions before then? It was quite a spectacle. Now, we have to be very responsive if that changes. JUDITH RICHARDS: So you only spent one year there? I mean, it startedso you started collecting in that area or just that one piece? There are a lot of areas that are uncontrolled in the museum, like all the antiquities are in areas that are uncontrolled. JUDITH RICHARDS: Is there any indication onit's a loan. But yes, I did bring in a professional for a while. JUDITH RICHARDS: I imagine you wanted to preserve the goodwill of the name of Agnew's. JUDITH RICHARDS: You're serving as your own contractor? And they're outside smoking cigarettes, and they're not talking about art. It was [Carlo] Maratti. And if I understood all those things, and we had a yes, then they had my money, but otherwiseso, for them, I think often, you know, I was not the first choice. He's like, "Well, I can't tell you much, but there were some payment issues." I think the problem was it was the overlap between business and art that made it difficult for them to manage the institution. So, you know, I did that kind of loop aesthetically, where I went from the filigree to the shadow. And he said, "Well, ironically enough, Sotheby's"and I knewI could feel this sort ofwithout even asking the question, I knew that Noortman's days since the death of Robert Noortman were numbered. JUDITH RICHARDS: How important is that to you? CLIFFORD SCHORER: No, no. This was something that you were aware of. Matter of fact, for a great deal of time in speaking to all three of them, they didn't know who I was. 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. 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. Fortunately, I had a business that owned a big warehouse. It just wasn'tI mean until 1999when, unfortunately, the auction houses forced me to come out of the closet, thatthat's really the only time, you know, when the Christie's and the Sotheby's, when they became so socially engaged with me, and they were trying to drag me out, you know, that they werethey were seeing a younger person buying things at a sale, and they wanted to know who they are, and what theyyou know, they're doing market research, and in their market research, they want to drag you to a dinner and plop you next to the ambassador and, you know. I'd write a letter and say, you know, "I think this is by Crespi." I mean, they'reyou know, the Corsini are known, you know, a very famous Italian family, and there was one member of the family who was an art dealer. CLIFFORD SCHORER: So, it, you knowit's been very, JUDITH RICHARDS: They recognize your interest, the. Solely responsible. CLIFFORD SCHORER: They have their own studio. CLIFFORD SCHORER: '80; I think I was class of '87 or '88. I was traveling a lot. And Colnaghi is still extremely ambitious; I think they still have 40 employees, and, you know, their ambition may or may not be equaled by a marketplace that can sustain their ambition, but, you know, time will tell on that.
