Inside the Mathews Sisters’ Bold New Vision for Their Family Collection

Roselyn notes that her relationships with artists often come from visiting artist residencies. A current obsession of hers is Indian artist Sagarika Sundaram’s textiles after encountering her work at the Silver Arts Project at 4 World Trade Center earlier this year. At the same residency, her parents encountered and purchased a work from a senior fellow of the residency, Jared Owens. Roselyn’s latest purchase, Untitled (2023–24) by Pauline Shaw was also acquired through a residency program after she met the artist during the Naranjo 141 residency in Mexico City. Both sisters emphasize the importance of social media, mainly Instagram, in contemporary collecting. Roselyn uses the platform to reach out to emerging artists, noting how she takes an interest if prominent collectors, such as Aby Rosen, follow emerging artists.
