Judge Irwin Untermyer (1886-1973), was a Supreme Court Judge for the state of NY and a civic leader. Untermyer became known as an avid collector and promoter of art and antiquities. Untermyer donated extensively to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and maintained a lifelong association with the museum. He served on the Board of Trustees for 20 years, and bequeathed over 2,000 pieces from his collection upon his death.[17] Pieces donated by Untermyer constitute "one of the world's great private collections" and some are on permanent display in the museum.
