Sidney Mishkin (1913-1991)

A child of Russian immigrants, a native son of New York City, a man who rose to prominence despite the hardships of the Depression and Second World War, Sidney Mishkin ('34) capped a career as an accountant and businessman with munificent generosity and loyalty to his college. His gift to Baruch, which included the art that makes up the Mishkin Collection, is one of the largest bequests in the College's history. With each new exhibition and each new student introduced to the splendors of the gallery named in his honor, his legacy continues to grow.
