According to the New York Times: 'Thomas F. Flannery Jr. [1926-1980], a Chicago neon-sign producer, was a born collector. He began by acquiring guns and clocks - mechanical things - in his teens. Then, at the age of 21, he made his first purchase in the field of medieval and Renaissance art, a collecting interest that absorbed him until his death… Mr. Flannery possessed a taste for aristocratic and ecclesiastical objects, for flamboyant works boasting rich and colorful surfaces and a great deal of brilliance. It was a taste shaped, probably, by his Irish roots and his education under the Jesuits at Loyola University.' (New York Times, 13 November 1983, Section 2, p.27) His collection of Medieval and Renaissance art, numbering more than 430 objects, was auctioned over two days at Sotheby's in London, totalling around £2 million.
