Home is Where the Art Is

David Tufts has been collecting art since his time at Williams College. Tufts’ exposure to art, collecting, and museums began at an early age due to his grandfather who maintained a vast collection in his Marlborough Street Townhouse in Boston’s Back Bay.

Tufts’ eclectic collection - made up of mainly contemporary works - ranges from art historical masters such as Jan Brueghel, Henri Matisse, and Corneille to a celebration of local Atlanta-based artists Radcliffe Bailey, Kojo Griffin, and Fahamu Pecou. Photography is also prominently featured including a full suite of works by famed railroad photographer, O. Winston Link, alongside Tina Barney, and Clark et Pougnaud. Works by other notable artists such as Canadian artists David Bierk and James Lahey along with Roy Lichtenstein and David Hockney emphasize the importance of curating a diversified contemporary art collection.
