Adam Medill Albright

A generous soul, in his life Adam touched the lives of so many. He went deeply and wholeheartedly into his projects, keeping his humility intact.

I was sorry to learn that Adam had passed. He was kind, helpful, and encouraging to me in my research and writing about his father, the artist Ivan Albright. I did not get to know Adam very well, but in the several times over the past two+ decades that I reached out about a question or feedback, he was direct and I always appreciated his response and candor. I send my good wishes for the Albright family.

Some wonderful memories. We were friends .. he at Brown and I attended Rhode Island School of Design. Have often thought of him through the years. Am very saddened by his passing.

I met Adam when he was a student at Brown. Such a lovely guy. He will be missed. Sending condolences to his family.

Don't look for the cabin. We did, however, get very proficient at felling trees, stripping them of their bark and curing them. Very fond memories. Adam was wary of his impending financial windfall. He was always well-centered and I loved him for that. Neither of us knew the Lord back then. I...

I am sorry sorry to hear of Adam´s passing. He was such a kind force on NRDC´s board of trustees, always taking a personal interest in the issues and people involved. RIP
