Hoover bric-a-brac loot tours Soviet Union bid cited
An American art collector, Robert Simmons, has bought 530 items from J Edgar Hoover’s bric-a-brac collection and offered a Soviet Union tour. In a letter to Soviet Culture Minister Furtseva, Simmons praised Hoover as a vigorous anti Communist yet generous man and said he would welcome cultural exchange. The collection ranges from a chess set to a whiskey decanter shaped like a hand grenade. Simmons calls it a cross section of one man’s taste. The piece hints at a possible cultural exchange amid Cold War tensions.
