Said Winnick Family Foundation chair Karen Winnick: "We were very happy that the Yeshiva University Museum curators at the Center chose this distinctive work to feature in Winnick Hall for an unprecedented five months. Art connoisseurs, of course, know that the artist known as L.T. Syms leads a wonderful double life. In Manhattan social circles, she is the wife of famed clothier Sy Syms. Lynne and Sy are one of the leading philanthropic couples in New York City, much honored for their history of generous giving to education, art and Jewish needs. In the art world, however, she is greatly admired for her realistic, powerful figurative sculptures."
Said the artist: "It was a honor to be recognized by the university curators. It was equally delightful to discover that the light-filled, spacious Winnick Gallery is one of the best art spaces and settings in all of Manhattan."
Responded Winnick Foundation founder Gary Winnick (http://www.pacificcap.com/gary-winnick.html): "That is strong praise indeed from Lynn who started out professionally as a planning and interior design expert. She and her husband Sy have given so much to New York City and to the worldwide Jewish community. It was time that those of us who love New York and its creativity give something back to her by calling greater public attention to her stunning artistry."
Said Dr. Jacob Wisse, the museum's new director, appointed in February: "We were drawn to Lynn's sculptures because they almost always capture people in motion, people drawn directly from her own full life and Jewish tradition. She sculpts the people she admires, those she loves, and those who inspire her."
Among the notable people she has sculpted is her husband, Sy Syms, founder of Syms Corporation - now run by his daughter Marcy who has expanded the business to more than three dozen apparel stores in key locations across North America. The striking sculpture of Lynn's husband today sits outside the Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva University's uptown campus on West 185 Street, funded by the couple with a founder's grant of $12.5 million in 1987.
About Yeshiva University Museum Since its founding in 1973, Yeshiva University Museum's changing exhibits have celebrated the culturally diverse intellectual and artistic achievements of 3,000 years of Jewish experience. The Museum provides a window into Jewish culture around the world and throughout history through its acclaimed multi-disciplinary exhibitions and award-winning publications. By educating audiences of all ages with dynamic interpretations of Jewish life, past and present, along with wide-ranging cultural offerings and programs, the Museum attracts young and old, Jewish and non-Jewish audiences.

About the Center for Jewish History The Center for Jewish History is a unique partnership of five major institutions of Jewish scholarship, history, and art: the American Jewish Historical Society, the American Sephardi Federation, the Leo Baeck Institute, the Yeshiva University Museum, and the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.
The Center serves the worldwide academic and general communities with combined holdings of approximately 100 million archival documents, a half million books, and thousands of photographs, artifacts, paintings, and textiles--the largest repository documenting the Jewish experience outside of Israel.
