Collecting BEST: A Conversation with Jay Barrows

Collecting BEST: A Conversation with Jay Barrows

The architecture of the Best Products buildings was remarkable. So was the art inside them.

Join us on Sunday, June 21 from 3–4 PM for a conversation with Jay Barrows, longtime curator of the Sydney and Frances Lewis Collection.

For years, Jay worked closely with the Lewises, helping shape and care for a collection that included works by Andy Warhol, Chuck Close, Larry Rivers, and Claes Oldenburg. Drawing on those firsthand experiences, he'll share stories about the artists they championed and the collection they built together.

The conversation will be led by exhibition curator Don O'Keefe and followed by an audience Q&A. A fitting way to close out Imagining Best Products and celebrate one final chapter of the Lewis family story.
