Ruth P. Horwich

I had the good fortune to meet Mrs. Horwich in September 1992. She opened her home to me and my friend Achim d'Avis, who was Ed Paschke's main collector in Europe. I seem to remember that we were introduced by another collector from Chicago, Mr. Bergmann. Ruth's kindness and availability were as incredible and magnificent as her collection. This all-too-brief visit to her home remains etched in my heart. One word: Thank you. Patrick Pascal Patrick Pascal

I am so sorry for your loss. Please be assured God cares for you and will comfort you at this time. 1 Pet. 5:7

A Mentor, a Patroness Supreme, a Fashion Icon in her own right. She was always there, always present always supportive as I struggled with my life and my art. She is missed and will be for a long time. We shared a non-pareilled love of art and culture that was her calling. Her spirit truly was only 23-1/2 years old--forever young, forever vibrant and forever Ruth! I miss you now and thank you for being in my life!!My love forever! Jan

Ruth, an extraordinary woman who devotedly loved the arts. Our condolences to her family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Remember her life. She was blessed to have 94 years on the earth and very soon she will be able to spend eternity on it. Just like God promised Job.

i still have fond memories of my first visit to the extraordinary home of both Leonard and Ruth Horwich home on S. Woodlawn. It was indeed an impressive house museum from exterior to an array of masterpieces within in every respect. . They were so generous in welcoming me and encouraged to join them at openings at the Hyde Park Art Center then located in the 5200 block of S. Blackstone and the memories
still linge as I rejoice in the legacy of their kindness.

Over the years, countless times I would see Ruth Horwich at various cultural events and we would always have time for a little visit. My late Mom and I visited her in her amazing home which she opened for art lovers. I met some wonderful people through Ruth. My heart goes out to her family. Please accept my condolences.
