art collecting debraj ray professor economics

Economic theorist and NYU economics professor Debraj Ray discusses his art collection, which began with a Picasso etching purchased from a Berkeley gallerist after his daughter Zayira discovered the image online. His collection focuses on early- and mid-20th-century masters, including works by Joan Miró, Egon Schiele, and Henry Moore, with a preference for monochrome etchings and lithographs. Ray describes how his analytical mindset as an economic theorist connects to his approach to art, viewing aesthetics and mathematics as interconnected modes of thinking.
