Art&ArtistsCORPORATE ART COLLECTORS:THE NEW MEDICIS

Incase you are wondering why artprices are rising, and auction houseslike Sotheby's and Christie's report

season increases of 43 and 45 per­cent-up from $90.7 to $130.1 millionand $34.7 to $50.3 million-the answeris not just inflation or a heightened in­terest in the arts. The great demand forart works, which prices the regular artlover right out of the market, is at leastpartially due to the phenomenon of cor­porate art. Gone are the times whenbanks and chairmen of big boards care­fully selected one or two paintings fortheir offices. Now they buy by thedozens.

Some of us remember the awe and thejoy we experienced in the fifties whenthe Container Company of America,one of the pioneers in corporate art,

displayed its formidable collection inhighbrow ad relating to the "GreatIdeas of Man." Since then, corporateart has become a status symbol for thenew Medicis, an investment and, ala ,an integral part of corporate decor. Thecorporate collection can ab orb any­thing from a mountain landscape byBierstadt to a trendy "Lavender Disas­ter" by Warhol. It is a boon for art con­sultants, gallery owners, auctioneerand-incidentally artists.

The Montgomery Museum of FineArts inspected some 300 corporate col­lections in order to mount an exhibition"American Paintings from CorporateCollections," in 1979. Choosing 88paintings from 30 collections, it sang thepraises of the "sensitive and adven­turous nature of corporate art collec­ting." To be sure, it was a super-show.Blount, Inc. proudly presented its Hop­per, its Stuart Davis and its ReginaldMarsh.

Paintings by wives, relatives andfriends were ruled out. But a ThomasHart Benton owned by Governor Shafer,who works there, easily found a place ofhonor. Haslem relates with pride that theNational Museum of American Artborrowed some graphics for one of itsshows, among them Michael Ponce deLeon's "Succubus," a relief etchingsculpted of handmade paper.

Among the jewels of this collection,where graphics by the stars of abstractexpressionism Jasper Johns, Claes Old­enburg, Mark Tobey, Frank Stella,Adolph Gottlieb and Joseph Albershang side by side with the works ofWashington's Sam Gilliam, Jacob Kai­nen, Charlotte Robinson and DennisO'Neil, is Richard Ziemann's large trip­tych of exquisite etchings "Backwoods I,II, III," reflecting the subtle interplay of

density and space, growth and decay.Ziemann,. who teaches at Lehman Col­lege, was Gabor Peterdi's student. Hiswork, a favorite at Haslem's, is amplyrepresented, but never better than withthe vibrant "Celebration III" which fillsone of the conference rooms with itsjoie de vivre and virtually silences Jul­ian Stanczak's "Red Sound," an acrylicof measured intensity. The masterfultouch of Peter Milton, another Peterdistudent-held in great esteem atBader's-can be admired in several ofhis enigmatic etchings. In such distin­guished company the pleasing acrylicsby Paul Jenkins strike the viewer asmerely decorative.

Plunges into corporate art are alsotaken by leading law firms, among themArnold & Porter and Patton, Boggs &Blow. In both cases the development oftheir considerable collections wereprompted by moves into new promisesof stunning contemporary design. The

Needless to say, Washington has itscorporate Medicis. One of the leastpretentious and most stimulating collec­tions of this kind-some 300 fine ex­amples of mostly contemporary Ameri­can graphic art-is housed in the elegantoffices of the international accountingfirm, Coopers & Lybrand. When thefirm moved into its cheerful quarters in1975, designed in a spirited con,tem­porary manner with gently curvingspaces, much glass and brightly coloredfiling cabinets by Larry Sealy of SLS En­vironetics, it was decided to enhancethem with artworks.

American art, who was supervising theoffice construction, took charge of theproject. Mindful of the firm's extensiveart collection of 600 items in their NewYork offices, Silton considered thebudget and called art dealer Jane Has­lem, an expert on graphics.

"We did not intend to buy for invest­ment purposes," Silton stresses. Haslembacks him up. "This is one of the fewcorporate clients who has not asked foran updated appraisal," she comments."They were interested in quality andlearning. They wanted the best fromWashington and elsewhere." Sonia De­launay's exuberant "Rhythm in Color"lithograph testifies to the fact that Euro­peans were not excluded. Working withgallerists Bader, Fendrick and Michel­son, as well as Sidney Janis and MarthaJackson in New York and others,Haslem returned with more than 300paintings, drawings, lithos, etchings andprints, abstract and representational.

On a day when Americans were stillcelebrating the hostages' release, Reagandid not talk about the sensitive matter ofdiplomatic immunity to which SovietAmbassadorAnatoliy Dobrynin, as deanof the Washington diplomatic corps,would have had to respond. He was thegenial host, making small talk and smil­ingly receiving congratulations in a hun­dred different accents.

~ss of the long awaited Bye Bye Brazil.~ ~duced by the same company that~ Ivered Donna Flor and Her Two~Usbands, this little exotic comedy~ ade an unexpected hit at the 1980 Can­yes festiVal before its U.S. debut in Nework last Fall.

'the film is a vibrant landscape of the

Brazilian countryside that just danceswith the rhythm and motion of a goodrhumba from beginning to end. It is theportrait of a sideshow entertainmenttroupe as well-five in all, including alovestruck accordianist and his pregnantwife-who truck around Brazil in searchof bigger audiences to hustle.

Instead, they find their fortunes stuckin the middle of Brazil's ongoing iden­tity crisis. Their two-bit tent act fails tolure anyone away from the almighty tel­evision in the thoroughly modern cities,so the troupe ventures further into thetropical backcountry, from one archaicvillage to the next, where base povertyhas already mesmerized the peasants.

Writer-director Carlos Diegues spinsan engaging tale of old Brazil and new,buoyed throughout by authentic loca­tion music and rich performances-espe­cially by Brazil's popular actor, JoseWilker, who makes the rakish indul­gences of Lord Gypsy come alive.

To speak of acting tours de force oflast year, Washington filmbuffsshouldn't overlook the top-drawer per-

formance in Australian director BruceBeresford's period drama BreakerMorant.

The story line follows the fall and riseof a valiant if morally confused Aussieofficer, Lieutenant Harry "Breaker"Morant (played superbly by EdwardWoodward) whose brutal atrocities dur­ing the last year of the Boer War inSouth Africa land him in a militarycourt.

The rigged trial, which provides theframework of the film, parallels in feel ifnot in fact the celebrated Vietnam caseagainst Lieutenant Calley. The bitingcourtroom battle gradually twists viewersympathies to Morant, who becomes anobvious fall-guy for a far more brutaland obsessive British imperialism. JackThompson's Cannes award-winning por­trayal as the earnest defense attorney is abrilliant piece of acting in a film thatprovocatively balances cinemagraphicsimplicity with moral complexity.

Late Spring Entries and Long Shots:One of Scott Fitzgerald's short stories

tells of a young American artist whowent abroad "to paint something newinto the Bay of Naples." My first reac­tion on hearing that Professor MatthewBruccoli was writing a full-dressbiography of Fitzgerald was that per­haps he was attempting a similar feat.What could he add to Mizener, Turnbulland the rest? The answer is that Bruc­coli, who is the chief curator of Fitz­gerald lore and legend, has almost 20new years of accumulated material to

of the language and history of thetroubled land, and she explored it fromthe northern frontier to the wastelandsalong the Persian Gulf. She has a goodear except when she indulges in suchtautologies as "an invited group ofguests," and a brisk sense of theridiculous. So the strangeness and ex­citement of a shared four-year adven­ture come through intact. There is anamusing bonus in the account of a near­royal visitation by Henry Kissinger.

A President in Love. By Edwin Trib­ble. (Houghton Mifflin, $12.95). Foryears the second Mrs. Woodrow Wilsonhesitated about publishing the 250 or soletters which she and the President wroteeach other during their 1915 courtship.Just before her death in 1961, she finallyagreed to their release, specifying a fur­ther delay of 15 years. Now the formerSunday editor of the Washington Starhas pulled together and annotated thecorrespondence. Wilson, whose letterssometimes ran to 20 pages in longhand,comes out warm and impulsive as well asbrilliant. Edith Bolling Galt-whose in­tellectual credentials hardly matched thePresident's-surprisingly enough morethan holds her own. The Library Jour­nal calls the letters "as captivating asany novel ... remarkable for their can­dor and passion." The fact that thePresident's all-consuming love affairwas played out against an anxiousAmerica edging toward WorId War 1adds a haunting dimension.

Dossier/March 1981/25

Before World War I, escapingfrom Washington meant cross­ing the river to catch the Great

Falls & Old Dominion Railway for aSunday outing to McLean and GreatFalls Park. Today, escaping from theCapital means moving to McLean, en­joying the trees and the open spaces, theactive community life, and the relaxedatmosphere, all the time just 15 minutesfrom Connecticut and K.

The life style is wide-ranging. There isa small black enclave that dates from the19th century. There is a very wealthy"Green Book" set with its horses andhomes in the Caribbean or Martha'sVineyard. There is the governmentworker, and the member of Congress,upper middle class, international in itsoutlook; and there is the new wealthysingles set made up mostly of high­income computer wizards and investors,with a few top drawer government of­ficials and professional people mixed in.

McLean's business district-boundedby Chain Bridge Road which runs roughlyparallel to Dolley Madison Boulevardpart of the way and intersects with OldDominion Drive-about as close as youcan come to the center of town, reflectsthe changes brought by high incomes andlots of discretionary buying power: aMcDonald's can be sandwiched betweena luxury gift shop and a posh clothier; anexquisite French restaurant may be nextto a barber shop or a filling station.

Never mind that the corners of thetown's center house three service sta­tions, a carpet store and a real estate of­fice, McLean is still one of the most af­fluent places in Fairfax County, one ofthe two or three richest counties in theworld. You can hardly call "tacky" acommunity that has $200,000 homesclassed as low to moderate-priced hous­ing, and plenty of homes selling for be­tween $500,000 and $1 million, even in aperiod of tight money and 15 percent in­terest rates.

26/March /98I1Dossier

Not a town, not a city, not a county,not really a definable place by govern­mental standards, McLean is a commu­nity, a nice place to be, separated fromWashington by a river and a lifestyle,but at the same time a place that couldnot exist without Washington.

Power is here. So is money. Derivedfrom Washington, without question,but it's here. Present and past membersof cabinets, ambassadors, admirals,generals, present and past senators andrepresentatives, the governor of Virginiabefore the one we have now, and onewho wants to be the next governor.Presidents and near-Presidents havelived in McLean-John, Robert andTed Kennedy.

It's not Georgetown, not Old Townand not Cleveland Park. Nor is it ThePlains or Middleburg. In a sense, McLeanis all of these, because it has elements ofeach. The luster of Camelot, which theKennedys brought to McLean in the 1960smay have become tarnished. But there isa new vibrance, a new cosmopolitanspirit that sets McLean apart and gives ita character of its own that brings that"fascinating mix" of people, businesses,industry and institutions who callMcLean home.

Dr. Alvin Robinson and wife Jackie, daughter "Chi Chi, " with son Jason and husband James. n'sKing, before the Gunnell Chapel on Route 193, Georgetown Pike, built by the McLean phySICIO

grandfather and preserved by history buffs.

mEALVINROBINSONS:ROarEDINEARLY McLEAN

The history of McLean is, in largepart, the history of the Alvin Robinsonfamily and its forebears. The familyand its various branches have lived inMcLean for longer than any residentthere can remember, their property onCrest Lane dating back to the CivilWar. As Jacqueline ("Jackie") Robin­son remembers: "Payne-probably agreat-grandfather of my husband-wasfreed either immediately after theCivil War or during it, and he pur­chased a large parcel of property a half­mile up the road. One of his offspring,Gunnell, was my husband's grandfather.He was a minister and built a little box­like church, Gunnell Chapel, which isstill standing, up there on Route 193­that's old Georgetown Road-right op­posite the entrance to Ethel Kennedy'sroad. Even when I first married 40years ago they were still using thechurch. At one point, I don't knowwhere the Robinson line came in, butmy husband's grandfather Robinsonpurchased this land, ten acres at thetime. It was a truck farm and he raisedvegetables and supplied his neighborswith milk from his cows."

She recalls with some bitterness thatthe government appropriated threeacres of their land to make a cloverleaffor the George Washington Parkwayafter condemning their property andfailing to inform the Robinsons. Theirparents had died and they were then liv­ing in Washington, using the McLeanproperty as a summer vacation spot.

"There was originally a log cabin onthe land, then my husband's fatherbuilt our present home that we've sur­rounded (with room additions). Hisgrandmother, who lived to be 100,stayed in the log cabin. The family laterbuilt her a nicer house on the front ofthe property but when the governmenttook the land, they destroyed the housewhich was newly remodeled. That was ablow." The oldest remaining monu­ment to those days is the 100-year-oldpear tree standing beside the housewhich still bears fruit. "Grandpa'stree" seemed to be ailing a while back,

• "You're not caught up in the whirl ofWashington all the time. You can getyour breath and then go back to it."

The Wards find McLean's smalltown ambiance irresistible. It's a folksybusiness community with the conveni­ences of a metropolis, where the park­ing is easy and "the gas station deliversyour car when it's finished." It has"marvelous shopping from the dressshops to the International Safeway,where you food-shop alongside em­bassy people from around the world."

As native southern Californians whoare here their second time around bychoice, the Wards' insights are signifi­cant. Eric Ward served in the WhiteHouse during the Nixon administrationas assistant to Dr. Lee Dubridge in theOffice of Science and Technology. Heis an electronic engineer in the hightechnology field by training and nowowns Fox Jones office products com­pany. Ann Ward owned a ladies' sports­wear manufacturing business which shesold to her employees when they leftCalifornia. Before marrying, she was abuyer for the large Los Angeles depart­ment store chain, Bullock's, a habit she"never got over," says husband Eric,referring to her inveterate shopping.

They left Washington to return toSan Marino five weeks after Watergateto devote time to their family of threethen-small children-Lisa, Julie andEric, Jr. But with Julie's 1980 gradua­tion from high school, they "pulled upall stakes" leaving their house in SanMarino to return to Washington. "Ourfriends who have never lived here think'Well, they've really slipped. What'swrong with them?' And all I can thinkto say is 'You've never lived in Wash­ington. It's just great fun.' People hereput themselves out. They're very opento finding out what you're like."

The Wards own two McLean homes.The living room of their currentRanleigh Road residence overlooks adrop-off below where Eric plans to puta tennis court. From their windows theycan see the homes of former VirginiaGovernor Linwood Holton and TexasRepresentative Jack Brooks, and "theStrom Thurmonds are just around thecui de sac." Ann Ward enthused, "Thevery second day we were here, theHoltons invited us to a cocktail par­ty-Jinx is just a darling lady-andthey told all the neighbors, 'Here arethe people who bought that house.' InCalifornia, you could live there all yourlife and not get a welcome likethat-and Californians are supposed tobe so friendly! " -SUSAN ELLIS

REALTORSSPEAKour

Do you want a custom-built, four­year-old home with more than 10,000square feet of living area-for $1.25million? Then McLean's the place.

But if that's a little too steep, there'sa new home in River Oaks, hard by theriver and just outside the beltway, forjust $850,000.

Those are just two you can see by ap­pointment if you call Diane von Meis­ter, owner of von Meister Properties, aMcLean and Potomac firm that spe­cializes in fine homes.

You could also talk to Grace Kemp­ton. She's sold a 50-acre estate as wellas homes to former Secretary of the In­terior Stewart Udall and to Angier Bid­dle Duke.

It's likely, if you can afford themonthly payments on homes like these,that you're getting one of the best in­vestments in town. Real estate peopleagree without exception that McLeanreal estate appreciates faster than com­parable areas-even beating the recent16 to 17 percent annual appreciationrate for Northern Virginia.

That may be one of the reasons thatCounsellor to the President, EdwinMeese III, and Labor Secretary Ray­mond Donovan bought homes inMcLean.

"I believe people in the Reagan ad­ministration are well-heeled. As we area prestigious area, some of them arebound to come here to live," saysPietro Di Benedetto, president ofMagruder & Di Benedetto in McLean.

Joan Powers, McLean manager forHugh T. Peck Properties, says McLeanreminds her of the Rocky Mountains ascompared to the Appalachians whichare "mellow, like Alexandria and Ar­lington, while McLean is raw beauty,like the Rockies. It's here to stay."

Even despite high interest rates,homes in the higher price ranges are stillselling briskly in McLean.

Although realtors disagree about thereason, Marge Kremidas, a Long &Foster agent in their record-settingMcLean office and a McLean resident,feels one reason may be the tax deduc­tibility of interest rates on top of thepremium appreciation rate.

John Jeffries, an agent for theMcLean office of Harper & Co., says

seductively across the ceiling is totallydisarming. The food is middle Eastern­primarily Turkish-with offerings likeShish Kabob and braised Lamb Shanksas well as Mousaka (eggplant andground lamb melange sheathed in cheesebechamel sauce.) Don't miss the shred­ded chicken in walnut sauce as an ap­petizer-a very subtle and fragrantstarter. Orange Baklava is a sweet end­ing to the meal.

The tables are all covered withred-checkered tablecloths and comecomplete with straw-covered winebot­tIes.

BERMUDA-THE ULTIMATE OFF-BEAT BRITISH RETREAT

guard Washingtonians who sneak offregularly to Bermuda for atisfying buthushed-up fun in the sun. Too much

talk about this oldest British colony(founded in 1612) might spoil it in thelong run.

Tourism is clearly Bermuda's maingame, and it's played with leisurely, un­crowded success from March throughNovember. Last year some 650,000 va­cationers spent over $550 million (ume­cessional) dollars in this two-mile-widearea, a 70 percent contribution to thecolony's economy, and further proofthat there's "something special" aboutthe fishhook shaped islands which liejust 600 miles east of Cape Hatteras,North Carolina.

For instance, Bermuda men have longbeen especially stylish in a hairy-leggedway. Where else can one find the male of

Scotland and better (more deserted)beaches than Hawaii complete with acolossal climate.
