Note:The gift of an 18th century Delft Tile was what originally inspired Dick Button as a collector. The gift came from Cecilie Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, wife of legendary Swedish figure skater Gillis Emanuel Grafström. Grafstrom became an architect after skating, and like Dick Button, he collected figure skating related fine art. His wife continued collecting after his death, and that collection is now in the World Figure Skating Museum in Colorado Springs. Her gift to Dick Button of a single Delft Tile would be the beginning of his important figure skating related art collection.
Exhibited: "The Art of Figure Skating Through the Ages", Fenimore Museum, Cooperstown,, New York, April 1 - December 31, 2017.
