MoLAA Gets $25-Million Endowment

Gumbiner, who became interested in Latin American art while traveling in the region, began buying art in the 1960s and decided to build a collection that would represent Latin American countries in proportion to their populations. He left the collection to his foundation, which is bound by a legal agreement with MoLAA, in perpetuity, to maintain and display the art. The museum currently houses a 1,000-piece collection that represents 20 countries.
