Up a flight of stairs, the office opens into a space designed to resemble an 18th-century <em>hacienda<\/em>. Navajo weavings, Spanish Colonial furniture, and a <em>chapirito<\/em>, (a fermentation jar from Peru) are placed throughout. A Chancay gauze weaving hangs on a wall and is, \u201can extraordinary example of indigo,\u201d Webster says. On his desk sits a wide-eyed Nasca figurine, circa 300 to 600 A.D., which, Webster humorously says, reminds him of himself when he first arrived in Santa Fe. The figure stands with chiles in one hand and a rattle in the other. The earth-tone colors of Peru adorn its poncho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s me,\u201d Webster says. \u201cWhen I arrived here, I had the clothes on my back and a few worldly possessions. This wide-eyed kid wasn\u2019t prepared for the powerful sensual bombardment of adobe architecture and cuisine I found here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life is different now. Webster sold his real estate firm in 1998 to Sotheby\u2019s International Realty, and though he continues to broker real estate, he also publishes a magazine, <em>Leading Estates of the World<\/em>, and deals in museum-quality art. He, his wife, Patti, and their son, Christopher, work together at Webster Enterprises, each of them focused on different aspects of their companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The path to collecting happened as Webster was creating his businesses in the 1970s. He credits the quality of his collection to two books he read, <em>Minding the Store<\/em> and <em>Quest for the Best<\/em> by Stanley Marcus, of Neiman Marcus fame, who later became his client and friend. Because of the philosophy he adapted from Marcus, he confesses, \u201cI have purchased whole collections just to get \u2018the one best piece.\u2019\u201d Another example of his personal quest for the best is shown by the love and attention he devotes to constantly curating the creative display of art in his Plaza office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-default has-medium-font-size\"><blockquote><p>My collection is fluid with no strict boundaries. In 100 years &#8230; I trust that &#8230; others who become owners of the collection\u2019s items will accept the custodial responsibility and joy of having in their possession priceless and timeless treasures.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What inspires you to collect art?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would say that there is a continuation of family tradition. While growing up in North Carolina, my mother was active at the North Carolina Museum of Art, overseeing and growing its membership. I find artistry in everything, and I am passionate about learning. You could say it\u2019s my passion that inspires me to collect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What was the first piece you bought and why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was an Etruscan vase I bought in Rome when I was on an adventure exploring different countries in Europe in 1970. It was a small piece, so I wrapped it up in a towel and carried it in my luggage. I still own that piece, and I\u2019ve lent it to several museums for exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">When did you realize you were a collector?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That epiphany never hit me that way. Living with antique furniture and family portraits as I was growing up certainly influenced me. I had the great fortune to take frequent trips around the country and elsewhere, so, by the time I was 21, I had been to many of the major museums in the U.S. and Europe. As a history major at Duke University, I was interested in museum artifacts, but I was a voyeur \u2014 in museums you can\u2019t touch. I like to experience things by handling them, whether it\u2019s a 200-year-old carved wooden chest or a fine weaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In retrospect, I began to be a collector as a boy when my dad and I searched the banks of the Potomac River at Stratford Hall, finding shark teeth. We also found the bowl of a rare clay pipe believed to have belonged to an English ship captain in the late 17th or early 18th century. I treasure it for the rich, shared experience with my dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">If you could be any artist in history, who would it be?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leonardo da Vinci. He was an extraordinary man of genius with an insatiable curiosity that led him to produce timeless treasures, including the <em>Mona Lisa<\/em>, as well as many other sketches, works of art, and inventions. There\u2019s a man who had a curiosity! I\u2019m very curious, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Was there one that got away?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are clearly things I\u2019ve seen and wanted that I didn\u2019t get. But I never beat myself up about it. Philosophically, if it was meant to be, I would have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve always admired and desired items related to my personal and family history, as I am a descendant from an officer who served with George Washington in the Revolutionary War. I have collected a few items related to those times and that chapter in history. There was an equestrian portrait of George Washington by Rembrandt Peale that I was unable to acquire prior to its sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Where do you see your collection in 100 years?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My collection is still a work in progress. My children have numerous pieces, I\u2019ve sold some, and I continue to deaccession as well as add to the collection. My collection is fluid with no strict boundaries. In 100 years \u2014 several generations away \u2014 I trust that my progeny, as well as others who become owners of the collection\u2019s items, will accept the custodial responsibility and joy of having in their possession priceless and timeless treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For more than 30 years, <\/em><em>WA&amp;A<\/em><em> contributing editor <\/em><strong><em>Shari Morrison<\/em><\/strong><em> has been in the business of art as an administrator, publisher, curator, writer, and collector.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Originally Published in Western Art &amp; Architecture<\/strong><br>Collector\u2019s Eye, October\/November 2018.
