What people are saying
I would like to make a statement here tonight that we wouldn’t be here without the artists
The artists, in our minds, are the most important, and to defer to the artists is one of the best things that we can do.
I’ve been collecting for decades and trying, through my philanthropy, to promote an understanding of the artists from Latin America and its diaspora within a global context so that we’re not left out of discussion
A very important part of our mission is to lend the works out.
