Collecting Contemporary, 1960–2015

Selections from the Schorr Collection 

Collecting Contemporary, 1960–2015: Selections from the Schorr Collection features approximately twenty prints, paintings, drawings, and photographs acquired by Herbert Schorr, Graduate School Class of 1963, and Lenore Schorr over the last fifty-odd years. Created by such pioneering artists as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Justine Kurland, Nick Mauss, Elizabeth Murray, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol, these works serve as double portraits. On the one hand, they represent the Princeton University Art Museum’s long-standing relationship with Herb and Lenore Schorr, one based on a shared commitment to modern and contemporary art. On the other, they reconstruct different but overlapping artistic communities—bands of cohorts who left indelible imprints on the art worlds of their day.
