Education
- Philip Niarchos, the oldest son of the late shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos, inherited much of his father's art collection.
- The collection was purchased in 1957 for $3 million from actor Edward G. Robinson and includes some of the world's most recognizable pieces.
- It is said to be the largest private collection of Van Gogh's work, notably his ear-less self portrait, and includes Picasso's iconic "Yo, Picasso."
- Since inheriting the collection, Philip has added post-war and contemporary works, including pieces by Andy Warhol and Maurizio Cattelan.
- Andy Warhol rendered CAT scans of Philip's head into a series of paintings called Philip's Skull, completed in 1985.
- In 1982 Philip bought a self-portrait by Haitian-American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat for a then-record $3.3 million.
