A Noble Pursuit: English Silver from the Rita Gans Collection at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (Volume 2)
Description:
In 1997 Rita Gans generously gave the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts an outstanding array of English silver from the collection she and her late husband, Jerome, had amassed over some thirty years. Thanks to the munificent gift in 2010 of more stunning silver collected by her during the past thirteen years, the museum is home to one of the most important collections of English silver in the United States. Using examples from the Gans Collection, this book looks closely at the time-honored pursuit of the beautiful and rare in silver and charts the rise of antique silver collecting in Europe and America during the past three centuries. Many motives lie behind silver collecting, but more than an object’s beauty, scarcity, provenance, or historical significance, the main driving force is frequently the thrill of the chase.
