Last Thursday, Jack and Dolly Geary of Geary Contemporary hosted Victory Club members for a tour of their private collection and a dinner inspired by it in their apartment in New York City.
The table set for 12 members and guests, surrounded by painting and sculpture.
Their collection ranges from Paul Gaugin and Lucien Freud to contemporary artist and friend, David Goodman. Their collection includes works by many of the artists that Geary Contemporary represents, but also some works they've personally acquired over the years.

The evening began with a tour led by Jack and Dolly. The collection includes many pieces for which fabrics and yarn are primary media.
