Ep.221 Shinique Smith. Known for her monumental fabric sculptures and abstract paintings of calligraphy and collage, Smith's personal histories and belongings intertwine with thoughts of the vast nature of ‘things' that we consume, cherish, gift, and discard and how these objects resonate on intimate and social scales. Over the last twenty years, Smith has gleaned visual poetry from textiles and explored concepts of ritual using breath, bunding and mark-making as tools toward abstraction. Her layered works range from palm-sized bundled microcosms to monolithic bales to massive chaotic paintings that contain vibrant and carefully collected mementos from her life. Smith's practice operates at the convergence of consumption and spiritual sanctuary, balancing forces and revealing connections across space and time, race, gender, and place to suggest the possibility of new worlds. Born in Baltimore, MD, currently residing in Los Angeles, California, Smith has received awards and prizes from Joan Mitchell, the Tiffany Foundation, Anonymous Was a Woman and the American Academy of Arts and Letters among others. Her work has gained attention through her participation in celebrated biennials and group exhibitions including the 13th Bienal de Cuenca and 8th Busan Biennale; Frequency at the Studio Museum in Harlem, 30 Americans organized by the Rubell Family Collection, UnMonumental at the New Museum and Hauser + Wirth LA's Revolution in the Making. Smith's work has also been exhibited and collected by other prestigious institutions such as the Baltimore Museum of Art; Brooklyn Museum of Art; California African American Museum, Denver Art Museum, the Frist, Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Minneapolis Art Institute, MOMA PS1, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, SCAD, the Ringling Museum of Art, the Whitney and the Guggenheim.

Welcome back!! This week the ladies are joined by the lovely Ebony Chappel as they reviewed"Jay Gatsby A Black Man in Whiteface" by author Janet Savage, Esq. In this thought-provoking episode, the ladies reimagine F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic, "The Great Gatsby," through the lens of a white passing black man. They also explore the enduring relevance of its themes in our modern world. Join the ladies as they unravel the intricacies of Jay Gatsby's journey, examining how the pursuit of the American Dream and the desire for reinvention continue to resonate universally. Drawing inspiration from Janet Savage's intriguing thesis, which posits Gatsby as white-passing, they delve into the idea of leaving behind one's roots in pursuit of an elusive dream. Tune in to join the discourse on whether leaving one's past behind in search of the unattainable is an inherently futile endeavor, and if those same forces are still at play today. *Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.Dedication: To our wonderful patrons!!!

On today's episode of Legal Download, attorneys from Kelley Drye's Environmental practice will be joined by Kathi Wurzel, a board-certified toxicologist with NewFields, an environmental and engineering consulting firm, to discuss the first proposed national drinking water standard for PFAS released by the EPA this spring. Associate Sabrina Morelli moderates the discussion as Kathi, partner Steven Humphreys and associate Zoe Makoul discuss the standards and the impact of PFAS.

Colette Pierce Burnette took over as the President and CEO of Newfields in August. She has worked as an engineer and educator in the past. Burnette says she fully believes in the museum's mission: to use the arts to enrich people's lives - and says that's what drew her to Newfields.

She is an engineer turned educator with no experience in the world of museums. But Colette Pierce Burnette has never been one to shy away from a challenge, so she says it was a natural to for her to accept the CEO role at Newfields as the organization endured one of its most challenging periods. “There's so much opportunity for us to enrich lives…who would shy away from that?

Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com.    Today, my guest is Dr. Shirley Mueller. She is an M.D., Ph.D., professor and neuroscientist. She's also an internationally known collector and scholar of Chinese export porcelain. She's the author of “Inside the Head of a Collector: Neurological Forces at Play.” She's also been our guest on the podcast before. Welcome back.    Is there a difference between collecting or deaccessioning and curating? I have let go of a lot of the lower-end pieces I might have wanted when I was 20, but do I want it when I'm older?   Shirley: I would say good for you for curating your collection.    Sharon: Is there a difference between the two?   Shirley: Yes, curating a collection, for me, is just what you did. It's selecting what is not as high-end as it could be and selling it. A lot of people use that money to buy something better. Or, as one ages, it's just to get rid of pieces. It's selecting out. I'd be curious to know where you sold these pieces. Was that a struggle to find an auction house?   Sharon: We're talking about a different level. I don't have pieces in the Met, so it doesn't matter. First of all, I couldn't, because even though I might not use it or wear it, what's the difference if it's in the bottom of my box or not? It doesn't matter.    I have a friend who's a collector and a dealer. When she gets a piece, she thinks about how she can make a profit selling it, even though she loves the piece too. I never think about that. I just think, “Do I love it or not?”   Shirley: Right, but she's a dealer and you're not. She's a dealer/collector.   Sharon: Yes. I think it takes a certain chutzpah to be a dealer, and I just don't have it. I'd rather know that somebody has something, or I have it, and not have to ask for the money.   Shirley: I think I have not always had a high respect for dealers, especially some dealers, but recently I've been involved with a dealer in New York who is taking some of my things and will try to sell them for me. When I see the work he has to put into his shop and into selling, and he has to acquire a high degree of knowledge about the pieces in order to help people understand what they are and how they might fit according to their desire, I have a much higher respect for dealers. They work hard. Not all of them are as good as this dealer I've been working with in New York City, but I think many of them are.   Sharon: I think you said it, in that you have to know your dealer and trust that whatever they say is the right thing, and then you can go from there. I have respect for dealers because I'd rather somebody else goes out and looks for it and researches it and knows the history as opposed to me. They do work very, very hard, and then they have the business.    Have you deaccessioned some pieces besides giving it to the Met or to your granddaughter? Have you deaccessioned some of your pieces besides that?   Shirley: I'm selling at Christie's, and I think I will do what you just talked about with some of the lower end pieces. I think I will sell them. I'm going to have to sell them, not at Christie's New York or Bonhams New York. They're probably going to have to be sold locally. It definitely scares me to sell them locally, but if I want to have more space in my house, I'm going to have to do that. We currently, Sharon, have most of our closets filled with porcelain. While other people would have linens or coats in their closets, we don't; we have porcelain in our closets, and we need more room.   Sharon: Aren't you afraid it's going to break if you have it in your closet?   Shirley: No, the closets have shelves. If they didn't have shelves, they do now.   Sharon: I guess my first thought was you don't live in California. With the earthquakes, you get nervous.   Shirley: Right.   Sharon: What have you seen when it comes to letting go of prize possessions? You said some have gone to a museum. Let's say a person like me is not going to have a piece in a museum, but it's a prize to me and I think it's worth a certain amount of money. What if I thought I'd never get what it's worth?    Shirley: Then you have to make a decision.    Sharon: Yeah, I guess I do.   Shirley: Right. You have to make the decision whether you'll take less or not. If you take less, then you have the money and can do with it whatever you want. Alternatively, if someone else sells it for you, they'll take whatever they got, probably even less than what you would get because they don't have any bargaining power or knowledge.   Sharon: That's true, but I have seen collectors who have turned over the collection to a museum who, within a few years, have as much or more than they did before.   Shirley: You mean they keep buying?   Sharon: Yes, so I guess I don't know why. I feel like, “Why don't I just hoard the whole thing?”   Shirley: Right. Is it their second collection after they give their first collection to a museum? Is their second collection the same or something different?   Sharon: It's the same. It's a higher end. I think they still buy with the idea of a museum. When it comes to collecting, do you ever talk to museums and say, “Are you missing something from this that I should keep my eyes open for?”   Shirley: No, but that is commonly done, what you just spoke about. In terms of my relationships with museums, many curators have visited our home, and I pretty much know what they're interested in. Subtly they've let me know what they're interested in. It doesn't mean I'm going to give the piece to them just because they're interested in it. It means I have to have a relationship with that curator and like that curator.   Sharon: If somebody was going to let their collection go to somebody else, and the curator came and said, “I heard you're going to let them go,” and really developed a relationship very quickly and ended up with the collection, could that happen?   Shirley: It could happen, yes.   Sharon: It could happen?   Shirley: Museums buy for the most choice collections. Often it is the director of a museum or the curator from the museum that establishes a relationship. After that, a deal has to be had, and it's during this dealmaking that sometimes the museum and the collector break up because the deal is not suitable to the collector.    Some collectors will disburse their choice collection among like 12 museums in the United States. That's actually been done. They have some of their collection, let's say, in Palm Beach, some of their collection in Minneapolis, some of their collection at Winterthur. It's because one museum didn't make enough of an offer that they liked, so the whole collection didn't go to one place. They just made arrangements with different institutions.   Sharon: When you say deal, you mean a deal that's made just with a handshake, without money, without anything. I'm not talking about money, but it's a deal relationship.   Shirley: Right, like these pieces that we received from you will be on display for 25 years or in perpetuity—that hardly ever happens; it probably never happens anymore—or basically as long as the person is alive and their relatives are alive, they'll be on display, and the museum won't sell any of them, because museums deaccess too, just like collectors do. There was almost a scandal about deaccessing a few years ago with Covid. I guess museums had more time on their hands because there weren't so many visitors, so a lot of museums did deaccess. Also, I think it was in line with museums' standards for a year so the museums could gain money by deaccessioning, since they weren't making any money through visitors coming to the museum.    I know a number of people at our museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, now called Newfields, that were offended because the objects they had given were deaccessed. Presumably the person who gave the object is called and notified about it, but that didn't always happen. That makes hard feelings of the donor towards the museum, and the museum doesn't likely get anything from that particular person again.   Sharon: I have heard of deaccessioning your own collection and it sat in the back. They never made a deal, and it was kept behind the scenes.   Shirley: Exactly. It's in storage forever, and then at some point, probably, they just sell it. So, part of the negotiation has to include in writing that whatever is given to the museum will be shown for so many years.    Sharon: How about a reserve with an auction? Do you have to put a certain floor?   Shirley: Right. Generally, the specialist at the auction house will recommend a floor. That floor may or may not be suitable to the collector, but the person at the auction house doesn't want to make the floor too high because they rightly think if a floor is too high, people will be discouraged right at the beginning. What the people at the auction house likes to do is make the floor low to get the bidding started. Then it's more likely that people will bid it up.    However, there's a nuance here, too, because people bid it up more when it's a live auction in the room and people are bidding against each other and can see each other. When it's an online auction, it's much more remote and isolated. People don't get that hot adrenaline going, saying, “I want this piece and I'll bid against the other person.” It's cooler when it's online.   Sharon: When you were in the room, you said you were anxious to see these pieces you prize so much. How did you feel if some of them didn't sell? Did you feel like, “Oh well, next time”?   Shirley: Not good, and seeing them come back was also a not-good feeling because you have to pay to have them shipped out, and then you have to pay to have the ones that didn't sell shipped back.    Sharon: As we get older, I think deaccessioning is such a big topic of conversation. Whether it's jewelry or whatever it is, I see a lot of times when somebody has passed on, the collection is now at retail or wherever. All of this is the formal collection of ABC, as opposed to somebody else. I think this is something you really have to think about.   When you say you're the definition of a collector, don't we all have that area in our brain that lights up?   Shirley: We do. We all have the nucleus accumbens, our pleasure center, but what makes a collector is nature/nurture experiences. The collector has a special drive, and it manifests itself in the pleasure center lighting up when the collector finds the unique piece that he or she is looking for.   Sharon: Don't we all have a special drive? I don't like sports cars, for instance, but do we not have a special drive for those if that's what lights up your pleasure center?   Shirley: Yes. Did you say you do or do not—   Sharon: I don't, which is just as well I suppose. Besides a budget, I don't have anywhere to keep a sports car collection.   Shirley: Some people like ballet; some people like—what else? There are so many other things: plays, Shakespeare, but every person is unique. What stimulates your pleasure center is different than what stimulates my pleasure center. Each of us does need the requirements of life. We need food, water, shelter, the basics of life. After that, we have the first-world luxury of being able to use our leisure time to do what we want, which could be collecting or going to ballets or watching Netflix.    Sharon: Could there be a hierarchy? Like yours is export porcelain, and then maybe ballets and then Netflix?   Shirley: Right. Yes, I do like all those things.    Sharon: O.K. People say I collect. I would not call myself a collector of certain things. I have more of those things than somebody else might have, but it's still a hierarchy, I guess. I like your definition. This is totally switching the subject, but people have said a collector is a steward of something.    Shirley: Yes. We are just taking care of these objects until someone else can take care of them. Agreed, stewardship.    Sharon: It's almost time to end my collection, but if you looked at what I have, I don't have 20 by this designer and 20 by that designer. Would I still be a collector? Let's say I have 20 different bracelets, but not even two by the same person.    Shirley: That's fine. If you have a passion for the bracelets and they demonstrate something to you and you have a story behind each of them, that's your collection.   Sharon: I guess that's a collection. Well, thank you very much. I will look for your book on deaccessioning as we all go through that agonizing process, the different ways to deaccess a collection. Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it.   Shirley: I'm so glad you're bringing this to the attention of people because deaccessioning is a part of collecting. It's a painful part, so people feel uncomfortable about it, so I think bringing attention to it is very positive. You're very welcome, Sharon.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week. Today, my guest is Dr. Shirley Mueller. She is an M.D., Ph.D., professor and neuroscientist. She's also an internationally known collector and scholar of Chinese export porcelain. She's the author of “Inside the Head of a Collector: Neuropsychological Forces at Play.” She's also been our guest on the podcast before. She's interested in something I have heard a lot of talk about lately, which is deaccessioning a collection. She has done research in this area and has published her research articles in Fine Art Connoisseur and Psychology Today. Today, she'll talk to us about her own collecting experience, what makes a collector different from others and what she has found out about deaccessioning a collection. Shirley, welcome to the program. Shirley: Thank you, Sharon. It's great to be here. Sharon: I'm so glad to have you. What was your collecting journey like with export porcelain, which is different than a lot of us? What is export porcelain? Shirley: It was a long journey, not a short journey. I started really in the 1980s, and I have been collecting since then. I think my largest time in terms of spending the most money and devoting the most time was probably the 1990s and early 2000s. After that time I became more selective, so I probably purchased fewer things, but of higher quality. I think most of the pieces I have I purchased early, and then as every collector knows, as we develop, we want more and more choice things. Sharon: Right, yes. Shirley: Which are harder and harder to find. Sharon: And cost more money. Shirley: Exactly. Sharon: Were you young or older when you discovered that you're a collector? Shirley: I was not a young person. I was in my mid to late 30s. I found that collecting relaxed me, and that reading about this particular area, Chinese export porcelain—that is China which was made in China and exported to the west—gave me a different perspective on life. I was a physician practicing up to 80 hours a week. I couldn't stop thinking about my patients, which is really unhealthy because one wants to be more objective about one's patients. It's also good to relax once in a while so you can have a fresh perspective on your patients, but that seemed to be difficult for me. When I'd go home at night, I'd be thinking about them. Quite accidentally, I picked up a book about Chinese porcelain and found that I was totally absorbed, that the world was outside of me, and I was inside my special area with this book reading about something that interested me a great deal. Sharon: Export porcelain, is that different than regular porcelain? Shirley: There's Chinese porcelain. When we talk about Chinese porcelain, we're talking about a whole array of porcelain including early porcelain, which would have been made as early as the 14th and 15th centuries. When we talk about export porcelain, we talk about porcelain made specifically for the western market, that is for the European market. Early on, it was made for a market that was more local to China, which would be Malaysia, Japan, India. Those trading routes were the water routes that China had discovered. It wasn't until later that a ship could sail to America, and so we finally became part of the trade then. Before that, of course, a Portuguese ship was enroute around the Cape of Good Hope to go to China. All of these routes were established in time, but early on, the specific export route for Europeans was not available until after 1492. Sharon: That's when it became the export, because they were then sending things around in a different way. Shirley: Yes, right. At first it was the Silk Road, some water routes. Later, in order for Europeans to join in in any major way, they had to use a water route around the Cape of Good Hope. Sharon: What's your definition of a collector? Shirley: A collector is someone who has a special interest in an area that fascinates them and as a result, they want to gather objects in that area. Now, what they gather can be as simple as fruit jars. It could be the tags that say “Do Not Disturb” on your hotel room door; there's even a collector who collects that sort of memorabilia. Or it can be high-end art that costs thousands or millions of dollars. So, the range is from very little money to a great deal of money, but all these collectors are equally passionate, except the ones that collect to make a profit only. They may have someone actually select the art for them, and then the idea is that in 10 years, they can sell it for more. The collectors that are only interested in making a profit lack the passion that the collectors who collect for love have for their objects. Those who collect to make money are dispassionate about the objects, but passionate about the money they might make. I don't even consider them collectors. Sharon: They're dealers, right? Shirley: Right. In a way, yes. Some of them will select objects themselves and others will have a third person, another person, pick for them. They even keep them in storage sometimes. They don't even see or use the objects. But 80% of collectors collect for love, and it enriches the collector's life. The whole idea of collecting is to make your life better. I mean, Sharon, think of going to work every day, maybe at a job you don't especially like, eight to five, eight to six, and coming home. You may have children and family, but what else is there? There has to be something else. For us collectors, it's what we collect; it's our passion. We have a collection, but the collection always requires love, care and filling in the gaps where we don't have a specific object. The collector knows what the collector needs. It isn't a want; it's a need because you have to have the spread. If you collect something between 1800 and 1900 and you have a 10-year gap between 1840 and 1850, oh boy, you have to keep looking. You have to fill it. Sharon: So, it doesn't matter where the money is. It doesn't matter if the money is there or not. You mentioned hotel hangtags. You have to pay the money to go to a hotel. Shirley: Right, it can be so minor. It can be a little thing, but it has organization and there's some thought about what to do with it. There was an exhibit in Zurich recently called “Collectomania.” They had the objects from about 20 different collectors, and one of the collectors actually did collect those doorknob hangers from hotels. Sharon: That would be an interesting collection. Don't we all collect? Is the brain any different for a collector? Shirley: That's a good question, and I wish I could answer that fully. All I can say is that for a collector, what he or she collects stimulates his or her pleasure center. When I see a piece of high-end Chinese porcelain that I don't have in my collection and I know I'd like to have it, my pleasure center can just go wild when I see it. You could see the same object and it would mean nothing to you. You might say it's pretty, but I don't think— Sharon: Yeah, I would probably not even notice it. I'd say, “Shirley, it's nice.” Shirley: I think what leads to this is genetics, essentially nurture, nature and experiences that lead us into a particular area that lights our fire, lights up our brain, stimulates our pleasure center. I think on one of the last programs I explained that I thought my love for Chinese porcelain came from a movie I saw in high school, “The Inn of the Sixth Happiness” with Ingrid Bergman. She was the equivalent of a missionary in China helping all these Chinese children when the Japanese were invading, and I thought, “I want to be like that person. That's what I want to do when I graduate from medical school.” When I graduated from medical school, I had a husband and a daughter, a small child, and I couldn't go to China because I had other responsibilities. Mao Zedong might have stood in my way a bit too. At any rate, I think when I picked up that book about China, it's like it was a circular pattern. I realized I can do more with China. I can learn about it; I can buy objects from it; I can associate with like-minded people who also are interested in the arts of China. There are avenues open to me to supplant my previous plan. So, that's what happened. Since then, I've been to China five times, two with the invitation of the government, and probably will be going again. Now I do interact with a lot of Chinese people, and I would say to a certain degree, my original purpose has been fulfilled. Sharon: Wow! When it comes to deaccessioning, can you let go of them? Shirley: It's a problem. All that love, attention, money, care, organization. I exhibit what is called the endowment effect, according to neuroeconomics. That means that what belongs to me, because of everything I've put into it, means so much to me, and thereby if I were to put a price on it, it would be higher than the price the market would probably put on it. I would think every piece I have would be worth thousands of dollars, and someone else might think they'd be worth hundreds of dollars. Sharon: Can you deaccession something that has sentimentality? Shirley: Exactly. The sentiment is there. I think that's why people keep their family possessions even though they may not be worth a great deal. The sentiment is worth a great deal. You don't want to throw away your family possessions like the quilt my mother made. I don't want to ever throw it away; I want to keep it. You're absolutely right about that. I had an experience recently when I did sell at Christie's in New York City, and it was so painful for me. It wasn't just because I was selling some of my best objects, but it also was because early in the sale, nobody bid on my objects. I was a nervous wreck because my objects reflected me and my very being, my very self. If nobody was bidding on them, what did that say about me? Maybe I didn't choose wisely. Maybe I'm not the person I think I am. Maybe I'm not as good at selecting Chinese porcelain as I thought I was. I wrote in the article in Fine Arts Connoisseur that I ended up even having to take sleeping pills for a few nights because I was so bent out of shape. I was very stressed about it. I think I may not have been as pleasant to my representative at Christie's as I could have been, and I think that may lead to my never selling at Christie's again. Sharon: That's putting yourself on the line, though. Shirley: It is. Finally, I just had to accept that things did not sell at the high price I thought they should. I wrote in my column that what brought me peace was that I knew, in time, inflation would make the prices of all of them higher. Because porcelain is breakable, there will be fewer pieces as time goes by, and when there are fewer pieces, that will increase the price as well. I finally felt O.K. because I had to. If I didn't accept it, I would continue to be miserable. Sharon: Do you think all of us should think about deaccessioning before we die, before the time comes when we have to let it go and it doesn't mean anything anymore? Shirley: Absolutely. It is so much better if we collectors direct deaccession instead of our families. The whole estate is just given to an auction house and they take care of it. We still know the value of our pieces better than anyone else, we know where they could be sold better than anyone else, and we know what museum might want them better than anyone else. We know what family members might like them. I personally think it's always a nice gesture to leave some things to the family that they might have even picked out. I can give them a choice of five pieces, and they could pick out whichever one they liked. It's a lovely gesture to do that, to give part of yourself through your piece to someone else when you are reaching a certain age. Sharon: What if you think you have time, but you don't? Let's say your car goes off a cliff and you can't direct anything. Shirley: If it's a very costly collection, the family will fight over it. If it's a less costly collection, they'll just give it to an auction house that suits it. If it's high-end, it'll be Christie's or Sotheby's or Bonhams, and if it's lower-end, it'll be a local auction house. The sentiment will be gone. If the relatives aren't involved any more, there's no knowledge of the person and his or her relationship to these objects. I think you have jewelry, so you know every object has a story. Every object has an experience associated with it which makes it meaningful, not only to the person who had it, but to some family members as well. Sharon: I'm thinking about a pin that I doubt I'll ever wear, but it was my mother's, the first piece of jewelry she had. I just can't give it up. It's just too hard to give up. What if your family doesn't want the silver? They don't want anything of their parents', not because they don't have a good relationship, but they just aren't interested. They want experiences. What do you do then? Shirley: If a museum won't take it, they have to sell it, and they're likely to get a better price than any relative who sells it. Then there will be more in the estate for the family who doesn't want the actual collection. The other thing that can be done these days, and which is a wonderful alternative, is to put your collection on the internet so there are pictures of the collection and a record of what is in your collection. Other people who are interested in the same things then would go to your site and would be able to appreciate what you had as a collection. It would require some work. You'd have to hire a website designer and have professional pictures taken, but it is a way to document a collection without actually having to sell it. Of course, the relatives might be interested in the collector selling it because it would increase the estate assets. Sharon: It seems like there's a lot of fighting over collections that families have if they're not told in advance which piece should go to which person. It can cause a lot of problems. What are your thoughts, or what actions are you taking with your collection? You said you sold at Christie's a few years ago, but do you keep collecting? Shirley: I have stopped collecting now that I'm writing about it so much with the book and other articles in Psychology Today. I have four pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and there will be more there. It's possible that there will be an exhibit there that will be almost exclusively porcelain from my collection. If this exhibit takes place, there are a lot of pieces, maybe 150 at least. That means that part of my collection, which was originally 600 and now is down to 500 or so, that would bring it down to like 450. Then I would give people I know choices about what they might like to take. In fact, my granddaughter has already expressed what she wants. It actually is in my will that she will get that piece. It's very important to me that she gets what she specifically indicated she liked. This is exactly what she said, Sharon. She looked at the piece one day and said, “Grandma, do you think I'll ever be able to afford anything like that for my home?” You have it. It's yours, but I didn't say anything. Sharon: I've heard of relatives who've come through and said, not to me, but to other people, “Can have this when you die? After you pass away, can have this ring?” I don't know what you do. Shirley: When a kid does it, it's O.K. She didn't even say, “I want it when you die.” She just said, “Do you think I'll ever have anything like it?” Sharon: No, that's different. That's a nice way of hinting. Shirley: But this bald-faced saying, “May I have that when you die,” that's too much. Sharon: Is there a difference between collecting or deaccessioning and curating? I have let go of a lot of the lower-end pieces I might have wanted when I was 20, but do I want it when I'm older? Shirley: I would say good for you for curating your collection. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to the JewelryJourney.com to check them out.

The science of collecting is a fascinating field, and Shirley Mueller, M.D. has devoted her life to studying the science of collecting, museum curating, and scholarship on her own collection of Chinese export porcelain. A passionate collector, Shirley has authored numerous articles and a recent book on the neuropsychological forces at play in the mind of a collector. Her groundbreaking research has contributed to museum exhibitions and scholarly papers that help us understand the inner workings of a collector's brain. In our conversation, we discuss the science of collecting, her experiences as a collector of Chinese export porcelain, how museums are using scientific analysis to measure visitors' neurophysiological responses in real-time, as well as the future of collecting online. Shirley M. Mueller, MD is an internationally known collector and scholar of Chinese export porcelain, as well as a physician board-certified in Neurology and Psychiatry. This latter expertise led her to explore her own intentions while collecting art, which, she discovered, are applicable to all art collectors. This new understanding is the motivation for this book. Mueller not only lectures and publishes about the neuropsychology of the art collector; she also was guest curator for Elegance from the East: New Insights into Old Porcelain at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (now Newfields) in 2017. In this unique exhibit, she combined art represented by Chinese export porcelain with concepts from neuroscience to make historical objects personally relevant to visitors.You can learn more about Shirley's collection and scholarship on her website.

Caucuses. Starting with the 1796, Congressional party or a state legislature party caucus selected the party's presidential candidates Before 1820, Democratic-Republican members of Congress would nominate a single candidate from their party. That system collapsed in 1824, and since 1832 the preferred mechanism for nomination has been a national convention. Delegates to the national convention were usually selected at state conventions whose own delegates were chosen by district conventions. Florida had the first primary in 1901. NH instituted a primary in 1912. Primary voting day to be on the same day as town meeting day, i.e in March. This just happened to be before any other state's primary. Instead of the modern method of voting for the candidate, originally you were voting for the delegate that was going to the party's national convention. The delegates pre-1952 were usually active in local politics, and usually would post-primary generally vote for the party favorite. In 1949, the NH legislature decreed that primary ballots would also include candidate's names. That delegate didn't need to vote for the candidate listed under their name, however. The first presidential primary after that was in 1952. And it was the first time an actual referendum on the candidates could be made Time magazine said at the time: Tiny New Hampshire (pop. 536,000) is normally little more than a speck on the politicians' map of the U.S. It will send numerically unimportant delegations to the national political conventions; 14 to the Republican, eight to the Democratic. But last week politicians and pundits from coast to coast were carefully adjusting their fine tuning to get a good, 21-in. view of what is going on there. On March 11, New Hampshire will have the first presidential preference primary of 1952. The top two on the Republican ticket were establishment favorite, Robert Taft & former general, Dwight Eisenhower The top two of the  Democratic ticket were incumbent Harry Truman & challenger Estes Kefauver Kefauver wore a racoon skin hat Eisenhower won and Kefauver won After the NH primary Truman decided not to run anymore. Kefauver won 12 of the 15 state primaries, however he lost the nomination to Adlai Stevenson who said he wasn't interested in running for president upto just after he gave the welcoming speech at the Democratic Convention. Since 1977 it has been state law for NH to have the first primary in the United States. There have only been 3 elections since 1952 where a winner of the NH primary DIDN'T become president 2008 Hillary Clinton beat Obama 2000 John McCain beat Bush 1992 Paul Tsongas beat Clinton Suggestions/Feedback Do you have a topic that you would like for us to discuss?
