The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art just got an incredible addition. Businesswoman and "activist collector" Pamela J. Joyner gifted the institution with 31 paintings, sculptures, and drawings by 20 American artists. Joyner told ArtNet that the pieces given from her and her husband's personal collection were “virtually exclusively of artists born prior to 1930 and is meant to help fill gaps in that earlier history, and also to serve as a catalyst to encourage SFMOMA and its patrons to continue the good work that has been done to date." via ArtNet
