“Trust Yourself”: Selections from the Zoë and Joel Dictrow Collection

March 13 - June 26, 2020
Julia and Larry Pollock Gallery
Cleveland Clinic main campus

This exhibition showcases a selection from the 106 artworks that were gifted to Cleveland Clinic by New York art collectors Zoë and Joel Dictrow. Unwavering supporters of emerging contemporary artists for the last four decades, the couple entrusted Cleveland Clinic as valued stewards of their art because of the significant overlap of artists in the two collections and the shared embrace of curiosity, ideas, innovation and a focus on the human experience. “Trust Yourself” represents the first exhibition of artworks from the Dictrow collection outside the couple’s home. The selection reflects the diverse array of materials and artistic approaches that characterize the collection.
