The Waintrob Collection August 29, 2009

'The Waintrob Collection' is an eclectic assemblage of work from some of the leading American and European artists of the 20th Century, originated through the hobby of two New York brothers. For almost forty years Sidney and Abraham Waintrob made their living as premiere equestrian photographers. However, they also had deep and longstanding social roots in the New York art world and, as a spare time hobby, they began photographing their artist friends, who began exchanging pieces of their art for the photographic portraits. Although the Waintrob photographs have been widely exhibited, the public has never before seen the pieces of the Waintrob Collection.
