Friday, December 5, 2024

Join us for an engaging conversation with collectors Karen & Robert Duncan, Kathryn & Marc LeBaron, and Ree & Jun Kaneko as they explore the profound motivations behind collecting art and its vital role in cultural life.

In conjunction with the current exhibition Under the Skin: From the Collections of Karen & Robert Duncan and Kathryn & Marc LeBaron, this special program brings together distinguished collectors whose passion and vision have shaped remarkable private collections. The panelists will discuss what draws them to acquire works of art, how they approach building a collection, and why supporting artists and preserving cultural heritage matters deeply to them.

Under the Skin showcases provocative figurative works that challenge conventions and reveal the raw complexity of the human form—a testament to the bold, discerning eye these collectors bring to their acquisitions. Through their conversation, discover how collectors serve as essential stewards of artistic innovation and expression.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector, an emerging enthusiast, or simply curious about the world of art collecting, this discussion promises unique insights into the relationships between artists, collectors, and the works that connect them.
