Published on the occasion of an exhibition celebrating Thea Westreich Wagner and Ethan Wagner’s gift of nearly five hundred fifty works of art to the Whitney Museum and more than three hundred to the Centre Pompidou, Paris, this catalogue presents highlights of the extraordinary contemporary art collection the couple has accumulated over the course of more than thirty years.
The excerpt available here includes the first part of an interview with the collectors, conducted by curators Elisabeth Sussman and Christine Macel, as well as full-color plates featuring works the couple acquired in the 1980s by artists including John Dogg, Jacques Flechemuller, Robert Gober, Jenny Holzer, Jeff Koons, Zoe Leonard, Sherrie Levine, Joyce Pensato, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Christopher Wool.
