Author
An eminent scientist and well-respected art collector Dr. Joram Piatigorskys memoir is an inspiring reflection on the creative passion that infuses a life devoted to scientific experimentation and a profound appreciation of the arts. He contrasts ancestral family traditions with his own life journey discovering unexpected similarities and differences in the process - from the notable accomplishments of 19th century horticulturalists to his own distinguished career as a research scientist at the National Institutes of Health; and from the deliberate and secure investment in Old Master paintings to an innovative pioneering and masterful collection of contemporary Inuit sculpture.Dr. Piatigorskys memoir is sure to engage the broad interest of readers and critics fascinated by the authors intimate knowledge of Rothschild family history and its influence throughout the generations particularly on his own family as well as by his insightful reflection on the joy of scientific and artistic discovery and the challenge (and necessity) of charting an autonomous path to a unique and rewarding life. As a prominent collector of contemporary Inuit art Dr. Piatigorskys memoir will provide particular interest to students scholars and fellow collectors knowledgeable in the creative traditions of Native North American artists.
