One of New York’s leading connoisseurs, Paul Walter was born in 1935 to Fred and Anna Walter, co-founders of the New Jersey industrial instruments firm Thermo Electric.
Anna Walter, a benefactor of the Morgan Library and Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, instilled in her son a love of culture that would lead him to study Art History at Oberlin College, in Ohio, and Columbia University.
His collection comprised a superb group of works on paper by post-war and contemporary masters Brice Marden, Sol LeWitt and Agnes Martin; early photography by Captain Linnaeus Tripe, Edward Steichen and Man Ray; prints by James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Lucian Freud; and a diverse group of works in various media by friends and contemporaries Robert Mapplethorpe, Billy Sullivan, Robert Wilson and Ralph Humphrey.
