A selection from

The Estate of Mason Adams

credit: photo: NYPL

Mason Adams, iconic voiceover artist and actor is possibly most easily recognized as the gravelly voice behind the Smucker's commercials ("With a name like Smucker's, it has to be good!"). A fixture in television and radio advertisement voiceovers, Adams's less-known legacy comes in the form of incredible, museum-quality artworks collected in his lifetime. Capsule is excited to be offering works from his collection.
