    Thomas B. Clarke, a lace and linen manufacturer in New York, began buying works of art in 1872. Within a decade he became the country's foremost collector of American art. Clarke was influential in myriad aspects of the New York art world, for he was treasurer of the National Society of Arts, chair of the Union League Club's art committee, president of the New York School of Applied Design for Women, and a founding member of both the National Sculpture Society and the National Arts Club.
