Nancy and Richard Rogers
Yayoi Kusama's Flowers That Speak All About My Heart Given To The Sky, 2018
DALLAS, TEXAS–Their exposure to a mix of art-world personalities has tailored Nancy and Richard Rogers’ cultivated eye. These globetrotters are omnipresent at most black-tie events celebrating the arts and are often first to raise a bidding paddle when a work catches their eye. Nancy says, “I love each piece for how it makes me feel. They all resonate differently … It was never our goal to have a collection. It just evolved into one over time.” Their collection is known for its diversity and adventurous embrace of many mediums, from works on paper (Ellsworth Kelly, Lorna Simpson) and paintings (Jonas Wood, Cecily Brown) to sculptures (Yayoi Kusama, Michael Craig-Martin) and neon and digital creations. Nancy characterizes it as ever-changing and inclusive, featuring “artists of all genders and race, alive and deceased.”
