Mr. Schnitzer will speak about a lifetime of collecting, beginning with the first work of art that he purchased from his mother’s contemporary art gallery in Portland, Oregon at age 14.
Today, Mr. Schnitzer’s collection of contemporary prints exceeds 10,000 works, making it one of the country’s largest private print collections. Honoring his family’s longtime commitment to supporting art and culture, Mr. Schnitzer created the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation, generously lending to institutions across the U.S. works from his collection, including the exhibition Shiny, Sticky, Smooth: Pop Art and the Senses.
