Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena (browse collections) Website biography says: “Norton Simon’s marriage to actress Jennifer Jones in 1971 marked the turning point in the shaping of his collections. With the exception of a few Greek and Egyptian objects, his acquisitions until then were decidedly European. That summer, during the couple’s honeymoon trip to India, Mr. Simon began to explore Indian art. This led to his first purchase of Indian art, a Mughal ivory chess set and, more importantly, to an admiration for South Asian art, which occupied a large part of his collecting interest for the remainder of his life.”
