With You I Want to Live

Francie Bishop Good + David Horvitz Collection has as its special emphasis the contribution of women to the field of contemporary art, encompassing cutting edge visions from artists working in painting, drawing, photography and video from the 1960s to the present.

Francie Bishop Good is a photographer and multimedia artist and her sensibility is strongly reflected in what she and her husband David collect. Their holdings include the work of seminal photographers Tina Barney, Sophie Calle, Rineke Dijkstra, Sally Mann, and Catherine Opie, as well as up-and-coming photographers Katy Grannan, Loretta Lux, and Alesandra Sanguinetti. Important works in painting and sculpture are represented by Ingrid Calame, Tara Donovan, Inka Essenhigh, Ellen Gallagher, Elizabeth Murray, Wangechi Mutu, Cornelia Parker, and Amy Sillman.

The collection also features works by South Florida artists, and those who have a significant relationship with the burgeoning South Florida art scene. Among these are Naomi Fisher, Jacin Giordano, Beatriz Monteavaro, Carol Prusa, and Betty Rosado.

Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz are among Florida’s most prominent arts activists and philanthropists. In 2006, they opened the Girl’s Club, a private foundation and alternative space located at 117 NE 2nd Street, a former warehouse that was redesigned by Margi Glavovic, who has won several awards for the exterior staircase and bridge she designed on the Museum’s Plaza to access the second floor sculpture terrace. The current exhibition at the Girl’s Club is Under the Influence (through September 30, 2009), a multi-media exploration of how artists influence one another. Included are sixty recent works which show their shared ideas and methods of making art. The exhibition makes a strong reference back to the feminist collectives of the 1970s and 1980s that challenged the isolation and originality of the individual artist.

These two exhibitions will each be accompanied by a publication featuring interviews with the collectors. With You I Want to Live inaugurates a series of exhibitions of private collections planned by the Museum. The Pearl and Stanley Goodman Collection of Latin American Art is scheduled to be on view from May through October 2010.
