Pamela J. Joyner, Collector, Businesswoman and Philanthropist, Montreaux, Nevada and New York
Hall W. Rockefeller, Founder, Less than Half, New York City

The history of Modern and contemporary art has been profoundly influenced by female collectors. From Gertrude Stein to Peggy Guggenheim and the Museum of Modern Art founders Lillie P. Bliss, Mary Quinn Sullivan, and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, these visionaries have left an indelible mark on the art world. This panel explores the ongoing work of women who continue this illustrious legacy. With unwavering dedication, they shape artistic narratives by creating spaces for underrepresented artists and enhancing their visibility in both the market and institutional holdings. As a new generation of female collectors emerges, this conversation delves into how women can harness their collective power to maximize their impact on the artistic canon.
