*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The first detailed account of Alfred Morrison, the enigmatic Victorian collector and patron of the arts.
Although his fame has faded with time, Alfred Morrison was one of the most influential and avid collectors and patrons of the arts in Victorian England. Morrison was an obsessive and comprehensive collector, using his extravagant wealth to accumulate old master paintings, autograph manuscripts, coins and medals, imperial Chinese porcelain, and other treasures, and his commissions were equally eclectic. Millionaire Shopping includes contributions by contemporary museum curators, scholars, and dealers in painting, sculpture, and decorative arts, with each chapter dedicated to a particular aspect of Morrison’s collecting and patronage. Extensive illustrations, including many never-before-seen images from private archives, help bring his impressive artistic footprint to life.
