Rivers was exposed to more than just football during his time at Troy. In a new interview by Exhibition A, the football star talks about his passion for contemporary art.
"I got into contemporary art while attending the University of Southern California," Rivers said. "I was fortunate to be exposed to some awesome shows with work by Warhol and Basquiat. I furthered that interest when I bought my first piece, a Warhol electric chair print, after my second year in the NFL. Since then, I've concentrated my collection on young emerging artists."
Rivers has developed quite a collection with works by Tony Lewis, Zak Prekop, Lucien Smith, Raymond Pettibon, Joe Bradley and others.
