| history | Rich Silverstein, the co-founder of the advertising agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners, collects art alongside his wife, Carla Emil. Originally hailing from New York and a Parsons School of Design alumnus, Silverstein began his career as an art director at Rolling Stone before establishing his advertising career at agencies like Bozell & Jacobs, McCann Erickson, Ogilvy & Mather, and Foote, Cone & Belding. Silverstein's collecting interests can be seen in his collection of postwar and contemporary pieces, which includes works by artists such as Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Jackson Pollock, and Franz Kline. The collection was exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) as "Selves and Others: Gifts to the Collection From Carla Emil and Rich Silverstein." In 2003, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) announced the Museum's acquisition of a major collection of photographs and photography-based work from Silverstein and Emil. The fractional and promised gift includes more than 100 photographs by 45 artists including Diane Arbus, Eugène Atget, Sophie Calle, Julia Margaret Cameron, Lewis Carroll, Joseph Cornell, Rineke Dijkstra, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Nan Goldin, John Gutmann, Germaine Krull, Helen Levitt, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Yasumasa Morimura, Irving Penn, Cindy Sherman, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Andy Warhol, Carrie Mae Weems and Edward Weston, among others. | ||||||
