The Roy T. Eddleman Collection
The Roy T. Eddleman Collection
From the estate of Roy T. Eddleman (1940-2022), sold to benefit the Eddleman Quantum Institute.
Roy Eddleman's intellectual curiosity and his interest in science and history were apparent from an early age, and in later life his achievements in that field were to enable him not only to establish and support numerous philanthropic causes in the name of science, but to make significant purchases in art collecting, most notably of scientific and historical subjects.
Born in Kannapolis, North Carolina, he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill but left before graduating and moved to Los Angeles which was to become his adoptive home. His first job was selling laboratory equipment before he moved to Cal Biochem, but in 1970 at the age of 30 he founded his first company, Spectrum Inc. It was to become a world leader in the manufacture of hollow fibre and tubular mass transfer membranes for the bioprocessing of proteins, pharmaceuticals and diagnostic therapeutics. Either founding or heading up eight other related companies, he was to hold many patents for products or processes that he had created. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, his work directly contributed to the reduction of costs in the development of many drugs and expedited their application to help cure thousands of conditions and diseases.
His friends recall an exceptional and surprising host: his parties might begin at his Los Angeles home but end somewhere much further afield after he had flown his guests, on a whim, to New York or Hawaii. The LA parties were legendary, so much so that in later years his printed invitations had to stipulate 'attendance only by invitation' to discourage the curiosity of outsiders. His friends meant a great deal to him, and his generosity could be boundless.
