As A Contemporary Art Collector Sells Off Her Collection To Support Social Justice, What’s Next?

Agnes Gund doesn’t want to be profiled and doesn’t want to be too lavishly praised for being rich and using her money to support a wide swath of the worlds of social justice, not to mention artistic culture. “Her cash reserve has shrunk after a lifetime of giving to AIDS research, abortion rights groups and arts organizations, among many others. The valuable paintings in her home by artists like Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Ellsworth Kelly have mostly been promised to museums.”
