Hearst's passion for collecting was first documented by his mother, Phoebe Apperson Hearst, on their trip abroad when Will was ten years of age. Phoebe wrote home to her husband George regarding their son, "he wants all sorts of things; the boy has developed a mania for antiquities." In his twenties, Will travelled to Mexico, Peru and Egypt, no doubt developing a broader understanding of global artifacts. For the remainder of his life, Hearst's craving for art was insatiable. Hearst purchased objects at a feverish pace from dealers, auction houses and galleries and was known to spend hours a day perusing sales catalogs and selecting items. Art provenance research, or creating a sequence of ownership, has been an important component of this project. The investigation would have been nearly impossible without access to Hearst's collection of sales catalogs contained in this archive. Art Collecting on a Global Scale provides an occasion for students, scholars and members of the community to experience and explore a lesser known aspect of Hearst's art collecting. While it documents a considerable range of his non-western art objects it also provides entry into this unchartered chapter of Hearst's unique approach to art collecting and the opportunity for additional scholarship.
