Evan Snyderman was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1970. He received his BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1992, and his MFA from Tyler School of Art in 1994. As a professional artist, Snyderman received a Wheaton Fellowship in 1995 and a teaching position at Urban Glass in Brooklyn, New York that same year. Snyderman has contributed to multiple publications since 2000 including titles on designers Wendell Castle, Cees Braakman, Greta Magnusson Grossman, Poul Kjærholm, Renate Müller, Verner Panton, Ilmari Tapiovaara, Jeff Zimmerman, and David Wiseman.
In 1997, Snyderman founded the gallery R 20th Century (now R & Company) with Zesty Meyers. R & Company has since established itself as one of the most prominent and groundbreaking design galleries in the world and contributed to creating a renewed global interest in collectable design through their research, exhibitions and publications program.
