About the Collection
The collection is comprised entirely of British Contemporary art and includes approximately 500 works by more than 75 of the most prominent British artists working today. Each work is personally chosen by the founders and therefore reflects their personal preferences, tastes, and interests as well as those of the artists with whom they have formed friendships. Michael and Goss have assembled a collection of innovative and provocative pieces that often relate to one another through shared themes: sexuality and its relationship to one’s being, personal identity and societal roles; the beauty, sensuality and death; as well as the social and political issues facing the current generation. The collection is augmented on a regular basis with very selective additions that are emblematic of a particular artist’s work, serve as a catalyst for artistic discussion, broaden the scope of the collection, or enrich Dallas’s artistic community. Often, once an exhibition is determined, the couple will purchase works with that exhibition specifically in mind. This ensures the inclusion of the most current and up to date pieces by the artist(s) within the exhibition and also enriches the collection’s catalogue of works by a particular artist throughout their career.
