"I've enjoyed collecting art," Loeb said during his talk at the Jewish Enrichment Center.
"I've enjoyed art ever since, I'll tell you when, I went to Columbia. I went to the Met and I saw Poussin's 'Rape of the Sabine Women' and it's this incredible, epic, great, great painting. And anyway, I was at Columbia and luckily they had this core curriculum -- I had this art humanities class. There was the painting I felt like, I put up my hand, the painting 'It's Poussin.' All the prep school kids were like 'What a jerk.' They all knew so much more. The teacher, I got one of two A's, and all the prep school snotty kids didn't."
He said that's always followed art and after going to a collector's show at the MoMa he just really got into it.
"I really just started buying art as a passion. I never considered it an investment, but it ended up being a good investment."
Loeb's art collection is said to include mostly postwar and contemporary art, including Richard Prince, Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Mike Kelley, and Cindy Sherman.
