Cejas and his wife Trudy’s art collection started out focusing on Zero, the artist group founded by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene in postwar Germany, but have also added to it work by the Argentine-Italian artist Lucio Fontana, which is a particular focus on their holdings. From Fontana, the couple branched out into the Italian art movement Arte Povera, buying works by the likes of Alberto Burri and Piero Manzoni. But the core of the collection has shifted to focus on art of the postwar era, from abstraction to Minimalism, and includes work by artists like Agnes Martin, Sam Francis, Robert Ryman, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, and Cy Twombly.
