historical notes
|
Lasker was an art collector, advertising executive and philanthropist, born in Freiburg, Germany and raised in Texas.
In 1942 the Laskers set up the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, which funds medical research and each year recognizes significant work by medical scientists by bestowing the Albert Lasker Award.
Lasker, with his third wife, Mary, collected contemporary French art including Matisse, Renoir, Bonnard, Cézanne, Picasso, and Van Gogh.
Lasker was married three times. In 1902, he married Flora Warner; they had three children. Flora died in 1936, and after a brief marriage to Doris Kenyon in 1938 Lasker married Mary Woodard Reinhardt in 1940.
