MARCH – AGNES GUND and SADIE HOPE-GUND
Agnes Gund and Sadie Rain Hope-Gund share an interest in the arts. Agnes Gund is Sadie's grandmother and a pre-eminent art collector and patron. Sadie is a student at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where she studies photography and media. The Gund family has supported the arts for four generations. Agnes's father, George Gund II, was a banker and businessman who expanded the family fortune in Cleveland, Ohio, and created the George Gund Foundation for philanthropic projects. Agnes was president of the board of the Museum of Modern Art in New York from 1991 until 2002 and is now president emerita and the chairman of MoMA's international council. She is also chairman of MoMA PS1. She has served on the boards of many other arts organizations, including the J. Paul Getty Trust, the Frick Collection, and the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. Her AG Foundation gives several million dollars a year to cultural institutions and women's organizations. In 1977, she founded Studio in a School, which brings professional artists into public schools in New York City to teach the visual arts. Gund is one of the most important collectors of modern and contemporary art. She has given, or promised, much of her collection to museums. In 1997 she was awarded the National Medal of Arts.
