The former chairman of Alliance Capital Management and his wife call “midcountry” Greenwich home, but nearby Stamford is where they opened a study center for their holdings, acquired over the past 30 years, of some 5,000 American prints from the 19th century through today. (In 1999, they donated their trove of more than 200 African-American prints to the Met, in New York.) “When we started buying, no one was collecting older American prints,” says Reba, “so we could focus on the first half of the 20th century.” Among their most prized possessions is something more contemporary: one of only three complete sets of all 10 Warhol flowers of 1970 in private hands. Selections from the couple’s collection circulate to museums around the country; their prints are currently on view in “All-Stars: American Sporting Prints” at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, in Iowa, and in “The Sight of Music” at the Mississippi Museum of Art.
