Collecting the Future: Catharine Lorillard Wolfe and the Power of Women as Art Patrons

Catharine Lorillard Wolfe was one of America’s most influential nineteenth-century women art collectors and a pioneering benefactor of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her story offers a window into the broader role women played in shaping the American art world—as collectors, patrons, advocates, and supporters of artists.

This talk explores Wolfe’s life, her homes and collection, and the artists she championed, placing her within the larger history of American women collectors. It also traces the remarkable continuation of her legacy through the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club and its enduring support of women artists.

Bringing Wolfe’s story into the present, the talk considers how collectors and patrons continue to influence which artists are seen, supported, collected and remembered.

The Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club Presents Award winning Author, Gallerist and Museum Board Trustee

Watch as Linda gives her perspective on how gallerists select their artists, women artists’ representation in museums, artists’ work that has been reattributed in museum collections and persistent sexism in academia

Catharine Lorillard Wolfe (1828-1887) was a prominent New York philanthropist and art collector, and the only woman among the 106 founders of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In addition to bequeathing her painting collection to the museum, Ms. Wolfe left an endowment to Grace Church in Manhattan to promote “women’s work.” At the urging of Rector Dr. William Reed Huntington and several parishioners, the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club was established in 1896. The purpose at the time was to provide aid, counsel and exhibition opportunities to young women artists in New York City.
