Local Note

Berg Collection copy donated by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation, March 2009.

“Joseph F. McCrindle, an art collector who amassed a trove of old master drawings and who founded and edited the Transatlantic Review to showcase young writers, died July 11 at his home in Manhattan. He was 85. His death was confirmed by John Rowe, vice president of the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation, a philanthropic organization. In style and upbringing, Mr. McCrindle harked back to the philanthropists who endowed the city’s cultural institutions and sometimes ran them as well. He grew up in a Fifth Avenue mansion designed by Stanford White and as a boy spent his allowance on rare books at auctions.”--From N.Y. Times obituary, July 18, 2008, by William Grimes.
