The Rubell Family Collection is one of the leading collections of contemporary art in the world and includes a research library with over 30,000 volumes. Exhibited in a converted 45,000 square-foot former D.E.A. confiscated-goods warehouse, it is permanent museum of the Rubell's extensive collection of work dating from the 1960's to the present. Open to the public since 1996, the Collection features rotating exhibitions of work by such prominent artists as Maurizio Cattelan, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Anselm Kiefer, Jeff Koons, Paul McCarthy, Takashi Murakami, Charles Ray, David Salle, Julian Schnabel, Gregor Schneider, and Cindy Sherman. The Collection began soon after Don and Mera Rubell were married in 1964. At a relatively young age, their son, Jason and their daughter, Jennifer, joined their parents in expanding the Collection. In fact, Jason began his own personal art collection at the age of fourteen, initially financed by stringing tennis rackets after school. The museum also features a New Media room, a Phaidon bookstore, a Cerealart gift shop and the newly opened Sculpture Garden.
