Dick Wolf sounds like he is trying to turn the Clark Estate into an elitist museum of fine art. Firstly, after four years, Wolf and Jeremy Lindaman should stop yapping about their “vision” for the estate and get it opened to the people of Santa Barbara for whom Huguette Clark intended it.
So far, it has been a venue for galas catering to rich white people and their political pals and cronies, with another gala scheduled for December 3 at $1,500 per diner.
Bellosguardo doesn’t need to be turned into a West Coast version of the Frick Museum. Santa Barbara already has a museum of fine art. If Wolf and his rich pals want to see the Frick, they should fly to the one in Pittsburgh.
