John Nicholas Ringling's years in Sarasota spanned the final
quarter-century of his life. On Florida's west coast, as the
Ringling's Circus became "the greatest show on earth," he collected
Baroque paintings, European decorative art, and Italian statuary,
built the ostentatious mansion Ca'd'Zan, developed and marketed
most of the barrier islands around Sarasota Bay, and became the
focus of a confusing pastiche of acclaim, misconception, and
suspicion. Sarasota's Ringling Museum is his priceless cultural
legacy to the people of Florida and the world of art--an
inheritance at risk for the ten years that Ringling's estate was in
probate. The author of this first intensive look at Ringling's
presence in Sarasota sets the man against the backdrop of Florida
from World War I through the land boom and the turbulent twenties
into the depression years and Ringling's lapse into obscurity.
Illustrated with nearly fifty black-and-white photographs, many
never before published, this is the chronicle of a man, as the
foreword claims, "who was not afraid to think or live on a grand
scale, who knew what he wanted from life, and from art."
