Robert Lehman assumed leadership of the family-owned business Lehman Brothers, in 1925, and would go on to run the family business for many years. From 1911 he began to build upon his father’s already impressive collection, to assemble by the late 1960s one of the most important private art collections in the United States. In 1957, nearly three hundred works were used for an exhibition of the collection at the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris. After his death in 1969, the Robert Lehman Foundation donated close to 3,000 works of art to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he had been a Trustee most of his life.
