WASHINGTON, DC.- Modern Love celebrates the stellar group of contemporary works of art donated to NMWA by prominent Washington-based collectors Heather and Tony Podesta.

The couple’s passion for cutting-edge art is highlighted in this selection of photographs, videos, sculptures, and paintings. The exhibition features more than 50 works by internationally-renowned artists such as Cathy de Monchaux, Candida Höfer, Elizabeth Turk, and Jane and Louise Wilson in addition to works by exciting emerging artists.

The art collection of Heather and Tony Podesta is internationally regarded for its audacity and ambitious scope. Called "Power Collectors" by The Washington Post, their zeal for collecting contemporary photography and video is unrivaled in the American mid-Atlantic area. The Podestas also develop friendships with many of the artists they collect because they enjoy following an artist's career and collecting in depth.
