Troy Klyber’s passion for collecting all started when he became exposed to contemporary art as intellectual property counsel for the Art Institute of Chicago, with the focus being on mainly collage and the creative remixing of preexisting content. Now, some ten years later, the scope of the collection has broadened to include works that explore the human capacity for creativity, knowledge, wonder, and finding order and beauty in a chaotic world and larger universe.
Here, Klyber shares work from his collection.
