Artists In Carla Shen's Collection

For Carla Shen, collecting art is an earnest endeavor that goes beyond simply owning a work—it’s about being a steward of an artist’s practice. “I would say my collection is a bit eclectic, since my number-one rule is to buy pieces that I love, and the range of things that I love is broad,” Shen said in a recent interview with Artsy.

From figurative paintings to textile, ceramic, and collage works, Shen’s collection is a trove of contemporary art that seems to have no bounds. Below, discover a selection of available works by the wide range of artists in her collection, and read the full feature, “Inside My Collection: Carla Shen,” on Artsy Editorial.
