Often mischaracterized as an "accumulator" as opposed to a great collector, media tycoon William Randolph Hearst acquired works not only in great quantity, but also with great care and regard for quality as both collector and a benefactor. As Dr. Mary L. Levkoff states in her article 'William Randolph Hearst's Gifts of European Sculpture to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art' (The Sculpture Journal, v. IV, pp. 160-171), "in the last six years of his life [he] gave so much to the Los Angeles Country Museum of History, Science and Art... that he laid the foundation upon which an encyclopedic collection would be built," and from which LACMA would emerge in 1965.
