Ruth Roes

California Collector

As an artist and teacher living in West Hollywood, Ruth Roes was an avid collector of contemporary art, both from her fellow California artists and beyond, during the late 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. She later moved to Santa Barbara with her husband, where she continued collecting into the 2000s and was actively involved with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Roes personally knew most of the artists whose work she collected, often acquiring works directly. 

I make sure that my pictures […] always have a trace of humor.
