Ten years of the Fisher Collection, reimagined

1/3

One couple's eye, four floors of art

The Doris and Donald Fisher Collection is among the world's greatest private collections of contemporary art. The founders of San Francisco-based Gap Inc. began collecting prints to enliven the company's offices in the mid-1970s and agreed early on that they would never buy a work unless they both liked it. As Don Fisher once put it: "The collection is the result of our looking a lot and then looking some more." Now, ten years after it opened to the public, a complete transformation presents nearly 250 works by 35 artists with new narratives that emphasize accessibility and personal connection.
