While her husband Gustavo’s media empire, the Cisneros Group, has diverse business interests that include many television channels, a brewery and a baseball team, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros concentrates on the couple’s art collection and foundation. The collection is reputed to be the best anthology of Latin American art in private hands, and it is within this field of expertise that Patricia’s philanthropic interests lie too. Fundación Cisneros is supporting a new fellowship for Latin American-based curators to work on the forthcoming Documenta as well as investing in various education scholarships for artists from Latin America. She also sits on Tate’s Latin American Acquisitions Committee and MoMA’s board.
