The Chow Collection: Acquisitions 2012-2017: Building the next Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

By Stephen Chow

The Chow Collection shouldn't exist. The sheer frugality, range, and quality of its acquisitions evokes the triumphs of its archetype, Fenway Court, and yet Stephen Chow operates alone with a small fraction of Isabella Stewart Gardner's wealth. By harnessing the vast connective power of the Internet, and drawing upon years of varied experience and learning, Stephen has set out to follow in her lead as patron, curator, and collector, in order to inspire others to carry forth the torch that she lit aflame. This book documents the first 18 acquisitions of a journey of art collecting and patronage that is projected to last more than 50 years.
