Annenberg is a discriminating collector, not simply an acquirer, and is quoted as saying that he buys only what he really loves. He is apparently equally adamant about getting rid of art that he becomes disenchanted with. Picasso's Woman with Mandolin is an example. He sent it for sale at auction in 1925, and Russell quotes him as saying, "I couldn't watt to get rid of that dumb woman." About the decorations he's entitled to wear on his formal coat they include the French Legion of Commander, Order of the Lion, Finland; Order of the Crown of Italy, Commander, Order of Merit Italy; Knight Commander, and Order of the British Empire, among others.

His medals include the Freedom Foundation's Gold Medal; the Pennsylvania Meritorious Service Medal; Delaware Valley Council Man of the Year Award; Philadelphia Club of Printing House Craftsmen Gold Medal award; Samuel S. Fels Medal Award and Corporation of Public Broadcasting's Ralph Lowell Award. In 1983 he was named a Fellow in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. There is a major philanthrophy in the works.

Every day I pay each one a long visit" magazine, May 1983, a visit to Annenberg's home, Sunnylands, in Rancho Mirage, saying that "If there is one estate built recently in the United States that can be compared to the finest "stately homes" of England, it is surely Sunnylands.in its rooms, with their beige and golden hues, hangs a spectacular collection of Impressionists and Post He adds that Annenberg "seems to do just a little bit better than anyone else in almost every field he enters whether it's philanthropy, publishing, collecting art, or even being host to royalty-" At Sunnylands are cases of Steuben glass, a Chinese cloisonne landscape, paintings by Van Gogh, Gauguin, Monet, Manet Renoir, Fantin-Latour, Seurat, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cezanne, Berthe Morison, Vuillard, a portrait of Annenberg by Andrew Wy-eth, decorative objects from Steuben, Boucheron, Buccellati, Jensen, Tiffany, Cartier and Giacometti, bronzes and marbles by Jean Arp, Cezanne's celebrated sketchbook, the original casting of Rodin's Eve which stands in a shallow pool in the atrium, and small objects of art that include Cycladic, Archaic Greek, Mexican, Sepik River, and Chinese Tang figures. Writing for House and Garden magazine last summer, John Russell, art critic for The New York Times, said Annenberg's collection of late French 19th century painting "takes rank as one of the most remarkable holdings of its kind now in private hands in this country." He relates an incident in connection with Annenberg's negotiations to buy Henri Rousseau's Surprised, a showpiece of the recent Rousseau show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
