Forman Family Collection
The Forman Family Collection is comprised of modern and contemporary works of art by a diverse group of artists with a focus on women and artists of color, and includes paintings, sculpture, photography, video and more. Collectors Michael Forman and Jennifer Rice frequently lend works to museum shows, gallery retrospectives and academic institutions, as they believe art is meant to be shared and appreciated and, more importantly, it is meant to inform and shift perspectives.
Michael Forman is Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Future Standard, a $94 billion global alternative asset management firm. Since founding Future Standard in 2007, Michael Forman’s belief in creating a workplace environment that fosters creativity and collaboration has led him to share works from his family’s collection throughout FS office locations.
Michael and Jennifer are supporters of the arts and culture in Philadelphia. Jennifer is a trustee of Philadelphia Museum of Art and chairs the board for Forman Arts. She also serves on the boards of the Fund for the School District of Philadelphia, the Citizen Media Group, Elevate 215, and ACCT Philly. She is Co-founder of the Cat Collaborative, an organization devoted to helping homeless cats in Philadelphia. Together, Michael and Jennifer founded the Forman Arts Initiative (FAI). In 2021, they launched Art Works, a $3 million FAI grant program in partnership with the Philadelphia Foundation. Art Works is designed to support community-based arts and cultural organizations, and emerging artists working in partnership with BIPOC and other underserved communities in Philadelphia.
