Her collection focuses on emerging talent and a commitment to individual artists such as Andrea Bowers, Wade Guyton, Karen Kilimnik, Gabriel Orozco, Laura Owens, Gedi Sibony, and Ryan Trecartin. Her collection includes significant historical works by David Hammons, Yayoi Kusama, Alice Neel, and Mira Schendel. Guided by passion and subject matter that is important to her, she has collected and supported the works of Carol Bové, Anne Collier, Isa Gensken, and Martha Rosler.
