Sterling Clark, an heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune (his grandfather had been Isaac Singer's business partner), began collecting art in 1910, when he settled in Paris. He married the former actress Francine Clary , who was soon to share his passion for art.
Together they created a prestigious collection of paintings, including many French 19th Century works.
Interested in establishing a public art gallery for their collection, the Clarks opened the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute at Williamstown, Massachusetts, in 1955.
