When her father, Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt, the railroad mogul, died, she inherited a large sum of money, which her mother controlled. However, after some time, her Aunt Gertrude determined that she needed to extract the child from an unfortunate parental situation and filed a petition with the court for custody. What followed is still considered one of the most scandalous trials where shocking evidence was made public. Gloria's mother lost custody. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney was a patron of the arts and was instrumental in inspiring the young Gloria to pursue her artistic interests. After returning from a boarding school, Gloria enrolled in the Art Students League of New York. During the 50s and 60s, she started studying acting at Neighborhood Playhouse, where she appeared in several plays and performed on Broadway and several television shows. In 1948 the public saw for the first time Gloria Vanderbilt's art at the solo exhibition in New York, where she showcased numerous works, including watercolor and oil paintings. In 1968 one of her artworks was licensed by Hallmark Cards and by Bloomcraft, and the artist started designing glassware, pottery, and linen. One of hew most renowned works is the painting Truman (1956), a portrait of the famous writer Truman Capote. For a time, Gloria abandoned painting, and it seemed for a time that she would not be creating anything new. However, in 2001 she made a comeback with a successful solo exhibition titled Dream Boxes...

Gloria Vanderbilt (1924 - 2019) Girls in White, 2005 Acrylic on panel 12 x 12 inches Initialed "GV" lower left; titled and dated on the reverse A member of the affluent and influential Vanderbilt family, Gloria Vanderbilt was born into wealth on February 20, 1924, in New York City. Her father, Reginald Vanderbilt, was the great-grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt, the creator of a railroad empire and one of America's first millionaires. Her mother, Gloria Morgan, was a young woman who loved parties more than parenthood. Gloria lost her father to liver disease when she was a toddler. She received a multimillion-dollar trust fund upon her father's death. For several years after her father's death, Gloria lived abroad with her mother and was often in the care of her maternal grandmother and her nurse Dodo. When she was 10 years old, Gloria Vanderbilt made headlines as the central figure in a bitter and very public custody battle. Her aunt Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney successfully fought her mother for Gloria. The court decided that Gloria could spend the summers with her mother, and that Dodo, Gloria's most beloved companion, would have to be let go. In her teens, Vanderbilt emerged as a popular young socialite with her own distinct style. She even appeared in Harper's Bazaar magazine in 1939. A while later, Vanderbilt headed out to Hollywood where her mother was already well ensconced in popular social circles. Gloria started dating much older men, including Errol Flynn and Howard Hughes. In 1941, she married Hollywood agent Pat De Cicco—she was only seventeen at the time. It proved to be an unhappy union, and Vanderbilt divorced her husband in 1945. Even before the divorce, she had found love again with Leopold Stokowski, a famous conductor. Vanderbilt and Stokowski married shortly after her divorce was complete. They had two sons together, Stanley and Christopher. Around this time, Vanderbilt also discovered her passion for art and studied at the Art Students League* of New York. She explored an interest in acting as well, studying with Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse. Gloria Vanderbilt appeared on Broadway in the short-lived revival of William Saroyan...
