Emily Fisher Landau was a key member of this group: her deep and longstanding involvement with leading institutions; her profound engagement with the art of her time; and her unerring instinct as a collector at the highest level, all combining in one of the greatest patrons of ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.

Emily Fisher Landau was deeply involved with leading institutions and the art of her time.
