His donation to LACMA in 1983 led to the creation of the Robert Gore Rifkind Center for German Expressionist Studies, an extensive and growing collection of more than 6,000 prints and drawings and a research library of over 10,000 volumes, which receives ongoing support from the Rifkind Foundation.
