James Edward Cottrell is the Chair Emeritus, Department of Anesthesiology [1] at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York City. He serves as a member of the New York State Board of Regents [2] and is an avid collector of contemporary fine-art. [3]
Dr. Cottrell helped to found the subspecialty of neuroanesthesiology, a field of medicine that has refined and expanded clinical practice and increased patient safety. [4]
Dr. Cottrell and his partner, Joseph Lovett, began collecting art in the 1970s and have built an exceptional collection of contemporary art. [3] Their collection has a particular depth because they build relationships with artists and stick with them as their work develops. [8] "As collectors, they're very involved in getting to know the artists they collect," says Orlando Museum of Art curator Hansen Mulford. [8] In 2001 they were listed among Art & Antiques Top 100 Collectors. [9]
Cottrell has served on the Director's Council of the Whitney Museum of American Art and on the Prix Marcel Duchamp and Guerlain Drawing Prize Selection Committees. [2]
In 2021 a major gift from Dr. James Cottrell and Mr. Joseph Lovett of over 200 artworks was announced by Grey Art Gallery at New York University. A named Cottrell-Lovett Gallery and the creation of the Cottrell-Lovett Study Center were included in the announcement. [10]
