In the Spirit of Louise Noun
Noun did not shrink from taking a stand on what she believed in and her values and beliefs are reflected in the art she collected. She boldly collected the work of early 20th-century women artists who were little known at the time she acquired them, and have since been secured in the history of art. Simultaneously, Noun collected contemporary art in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s including fine examples of Minimalism by Agnes Martin and post-Minimalism by Lee Bontecou and Eva Hesse. She also acquired works by artists such as Barbara Kruger, Kiki Smith, and Nancy Spero, which are unabashedly political, addressing feminism, sexual politics, and social justice.
