All the boisterous patrician privilege of the Bullingdon Club crossed with the artistic hunter-gatherer instincts of the Tate trustees: that was, approximately, the Society of Dilettanti, founded in 1734 by some aristocratic courtiers around Frederick, the Prince of Wales who would predecease his father, George II. They had returned reluctantly from their classical tours in Italy “desirous of encouraging at home a taste for those objects which had contributed so much to their entertainment abroad”.
I first met Eli Broad in his Century City office. It was on an upper floor of the SunAmerica building – the multi-billion dollar insurance company he built with views for miles in every direction, mountain, ocean, valley. I marveled at the view, which was fitting for someone who always had a watchful eye on the city he loved.
Since Eli died April 30 at age 87, much has been written about his impact on art, education and civic life in L.A. He truly was, as the Los Angeles Times’ Thomas Curwen noted, the last of the great business leaders-philanthropists who was “able to shape and finance his personal dream of what the city should be.”
