The Bequest of Two Friends Brings Art to the People

Jonathan Abrams, MD, and Fay Abrams have the kind of intimacy one finds in a Gabriel García Márquez novel: They were married for decades, have been divorced for several years, and are now close friends. She calls him a rare “renaissance man”; he says she approaches various “consciousness-expanding endeavors . . . with gentleness and care.”

Over the past four decades, Jon and Fay have amassed an art collection of more than 400 pieces. They also have done much to promote contemporary art in Albuquerque. Fay owned Mariposa Gallery for 31 years and is the past president (2004-2009) of the Capitol Art Foundation in Santa Fe, which oversees an extensive collection of work by New Mexico artists at the State Capitol Building. more >

To help offer that experience to UNM students, the McKinnons have recently endowed the Sonnet and Ian McKinnon Distinguished CEO Lecture Series at Anderson. more >
