Description:

In this reflective and deeply personal memoir, Sheldon Bonovitz traces his multifaceted life as a lawyer and art collector. Beginning with a vivid portrait of midcentury Cleveland and his years at Penn and Harvard Law School, he recounts the path that led him to guide the Philadelphia-based law firm Duane Morris through a period of remarkable expansion and international prominence.

Alongside his legal career, Bonovitz and his wife, Jill, cultivated a lifelong commitment to collecting and sharing art with museums and educational institutions. Together, they played a pivotal role in shaping the future of “outsider art,” helping to elevate a once-marginalized genre into one now widely recognized and celebrated around the world.

Through candid reflection, wry humor, and generous advice, Bonovitz gives readers an intimate view of the disparate yet complementary worlds of business and art. The result is a compelling portrait of a life lived with purpose and conviction—essential reading for aspiring leaders, lawyers, art collectors, philanthropists, and anyone determined to live with passion.
