CAUCUS MEMBER COLLECTION TOUR
FEATURING THE HOME OF
PATTY ALPER and David CohN
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2021 | 2-3:30 PM ET
CHEVY CHASE, MD | In-Person event

"Our collection is a mix of works that has first been influenced by my mother Carolyn Alper, taking me for years to art shows and introducing me to my own tastes. " - Patty Alper

Patty and David's collection features Washington artists from her mother's collection, including Morris Louis, Gene Davis, Sam Gilliam. After years of influence from Carolyn, the couple branched out to expand their collection to include well-known artists like David Hockney, Robert Rauschenberg, Sean Scully, Chuck Close, William Christenberry and a large collection of their friend Enrique Martinez Celaya. Their collection is informed by gallery and museum visits, and attending arts programs like the one at Anderson Ranch in Colorado.
