• Henry_Plumer_McIlhenny abstract "Henry Plumer McIlhenny (October 7, 1910 – May 11, 1986) was an American connoisseur of art and antiques, world traveler, socialite, philanthropist and the chairman of the Philadelphia Art Museum.His passion for art and collecting was inculcated by his parents, Frances Galbraith (Plumer) and John Dexter McIlhenny, who also played an active role in the Philadelphia Art Museum.For half a century his involvement with the museum was legendary. First serving as a curator from 1939 to 1964 he became the chairman of the board in 1976. During his years at Harvard, from which he was graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Fine Arts in 1933, Paul J. Sachs also influenced his future collecting.During the World War II he served in the United States Naval Reserve, with one and a half years on the USS Bunker Hill in the Pacific theater. He was photographed in his uniform by George Platt Lynes.During his lifetime his collections of French masterpieces, 18th and 19th century silver, furniture and other decorative arts were housed in both his Rittenhouse Square townhouse and at Glenveagh Castle, his country house in County Donegal, part of the Province of Ulster in Ireland. Many acquisitions were made through his interior designers Denning & Fourcade of New York City and Paris. His summer entertaining at Glenveagh Castle included the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable, Greta Garbo and Derek Hill.McIlhenny was the last private owner of the Glenveagh Estate, which covers a large, remote, rugged part of County Donegal, Ireland, before it became Glenveagh National Park. He bought the 170 square kilometre estate in 1938, having rented it for summer use since 1933, and used it regularly as a part-time residence until 1982, having made a gift of Glenveagh Castle and gardens to the Irish State in 1979, while retaining the right to live there for his lifetime. McIlhenny's ancestors had come from near Milford, a village in the north of County Donegal. He is fondly remembered in County Donegal—a county known, historically, for having had aristocratic absentee landlords, usually drawn from the Ascendancy—as having been a good landlord and an excellent employer. He had sold the bulk of the estate lands to the Irish state in 1974–75, to enable the setting up of a national park.Andy Warhol claimed, McIlhenny was "the only person in Philadelphia with glamour," a sentiment echoed by the Philadelphia Art Alliance, which dubbed him the "first gentleman of Philadelphia."He left his entire estate to the museum which: "In terms of quality, the collection can compare with the gifts and bequests made in recent years by Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Wrightsman to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon to the National Gallery and elsewhere, and by Nelson A. Rockefeller and James Thrall Soby to the Museum of Modern Art."The items not retained for the museum's collection were sold at a two-day sale held by Christie's. Prior to the sale, which brought $3.7 million, 200 guests gathered at Christie's for a benefit dinner in McIlhenny's honor. The proceeds from the auction went into a museum acquisition fund. McIlhenny is buried in West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.".
