From the significant amount of work in the Collection, DeWoody and co-curators, Laura Dvorkin and Maynard Monrow have assembled a selection that includes works by leading contemporary artists dispersed throughout the 20,000 square foot space.

Built in the 1920s as a toy factory and utilized as a munitions armory during World War II, the Art Deco building now provides the perfect stage to show a considerable amount of work outside of what is possible in DeWoody’s domestic spaces, and to a wider audience through scheduled private tours.

Through DeWoody’s passion, vision, and continuing support of emerging artists and galleries, she has redefined the boundaries of collecting. By championing emerging, and at times, overlooked artists, especially in the early stages of their careers, she has amassed a truly unique collection. The Collection is grateful for the opportunity to share these treasures and push beyond “the greatest hits” to show a more complete view of contemporary art today.
