Miriam Schecter was born and raised on the Lower Eastside of Manhattan, where she was exposed to many unique artists, and where she developed a deep love and appreciation for Art. With a desire to collect, Miriam started going to small galleries and attending art shows in the early 1940’s. She had limited funds but managed to save money and started her collection. Throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s she continued to acquire both lesser known and up and coming local artists. Much of her collection included artists from Works Progress Administration (WPA). Miriam cultivated a profound connection for self taught artists, such as Rex Clawson whom she collected an array of marvelous paintings and drawings. Her apartment walls were covered with all the beautiful artwork she amassed over decades. Nothing delighted her more than to showcase her collection and share memories of the artist/artwork with friends and family.
