"The artists...are very connected to their pieces. The spirituality and the mindfulness and the intent are there within the piece and when it speaks to you, if you listen, you say, ‘that’s something that I want to live with.’” - Francine Pilloff, Contemporary Glass and Art Collector
Spend a moment with Francine Pilloff and discover the stories behind her and her husband, Benson's, contemporary art collection. Their collecting journey began on an unscheduled Sunday afternoon in the 1970s, which brought them to the Riley Galleries in Cleveland Ohio. There they were drawn to the work of William Morris, so much so that they bought their first piece, a petroglyph vessel. It was a turning point for the Pilloffs. They fell in love with American Contemporary Glass and have been collecting together for decades.
