“An Eye for the Best: The Collection of George Lois reflects a passion for formal purity. Superb quality and elegance of form unite the Lois’ eclectic collection of art and furniture. It is Lois’ life-long appreciation for art that more than anything else guides his professional instincts as an art director as well as an art collector.”

 

GRAYDON CARTER

 

“Frank Lloyd Wright and Tiffany lamps. Japanese screens and Coptic grave markers. A Greek amphora and a Benin bronze. A Calder mobile and Art Nouveau furniture. Against all odds, the vast assemblage in the home of George and Rosemary Lois, representing more than 50 years of avid collecting, blends together all the brilliant humanity of the world.”

 

LIVING WITH ART

“George Lois’ amazing art collection has driven more than a few curators wild with envy.”

 

THOMAS HOVING, 1976

Director, Metropolitan Museum of Art

 

“Working with legendary designer George Lois has been a career highlight for me. As a young, ambitious art dealer from Canada, George and his lovely wife Rosemary acquired the centerpiece of my first New York exhibition in the mid 1990’s. A sale that acted as the catalyst for a long and fruitful career. I could not be more thankful to them both.”

 

DONALD ELLIS

 

“The George and Rosemary Lois collection of art from the Ancient World, Africa, Oceania and the Pacific Northwest is unrivaled in North America for its quality and rich diversity. With sculptures ranging from a pre-historic female idol from the Cycladic Islands to a sublime goddess from the Pacific atoll of Nukuoro it is the product of an eye as keen as it is eclectic and adventurous.”
