RUBIN MUSEUM
Shelley and Donald Rubin are also co-founders of the Shelley
& Donald Rubin Foundation, which supports cultural
and humanitarian projects around the world. Apart from
Himalayan art, Donald Rubin is also a pioneer in collecting
Modern Indian art. They are both members of the Global
Philanthropists Circle.
Founded in 2004 by Donald and Shelley Rubin, The Rubin
Museum in New York City’s Chelsea district is home to one
of the finest collections of Himalayan, Indian and Tibetan
art. Starting with an initial donation of about a thousand
works of Himalayan art that the Rubins’ assembled over
three decades, the museum has grown to house more
than three thousand works over the last decade. Lots 62
and 63 were once part of Shelley and Donald Rubin’s private
collection, and lot 64 was exhibited at the Rubin Museum
in 2012-13.
