Schwartz Art

Gerald Schwartz believes the presence of provocative art promotes creative thinking, remembering that “artistic presence was the only thing missing at HBS when I went there. I wanted to change that.” In 1995, Gerry Schwartz, and a team from HBS together began purchasing contemporary art for the HBS buildings more frequented by students. Inspired by the growing collection, a small group of MBA students founded the HBS Art Appreciation Society in 2001. It quickly grew into one of the largest clubs on campus, sponsoring events in Boston area galleries and museums, as well as an annual weekend in Manhattan to meet artists, tour exhibitions, and attend theater. The club’s co-presidents accompany Mr. Schwartz on his annual buying trip to purchase additional art for the School’s collection.
