Becoming Morgan: J. Pierpont Morgan's Early Collecting
Dr. Colin B. Bailey, Director of the Morgan Library & Museum, traces the development of J. Pierpont Morgan as a collector of rare books and manuscripts. His lecture examines the evolution of Morgan’s taste and the development of his remarkable collection in conjunction with the construction of the library that he commissioned from the architectural firm, McKim, Mead, and White, while also considering Pierpont Morgan’s most important sources of influence: his father, Junius Spencer Morgan, and eponymous nephew.

What an amazing person was Perpiont Morgan I found this very informative
I’ve been a fan of Mr. Morgan for many years. He seems to have been a very human man, fallible and contradictory, but essentially kind and intelligent. His collection of paintings is the backbone of the Frick collection (as I’m sure you’re aware). He always preferred to be known as Pierpont because of his admiration for his maternal grandfather. Thanks for adhering to this and never referring to him as JP. A very interesting lecture indeed! Thanks.
