Quite The Collector
Chris Webber is not a one hit wonder; the professional athlete is also quite interested in art! Chris owns a rare collection of African-American artifacts. His pieces are on display at Central Library in Sacramento, California. It started as an interest in the cultural history of African Americans, and became a full-fledged art collection! “I just thought I was going to put it in the hallway of my house. My friends were like, ‘You’re corny. You’re a nerd.’ I thought no one would care” Webber states. Today, Webber’s collection is regularly exhibited at museums and public buildings across the United States. His mother (below) was the one who inspired Chris to begin collecting, as she had an array of art around their home as Chris was growing up.
Guest Appearances
Chris is very well-spoken and charismatic. Can you believe he’s been a guest on the Jay Leno, David Letterman and Bill Maher shows?!
