The committee was formed in 1975 under the leadership of Ruth Carter Stevenson, chairman of the Gallery's board of trustees from 1993 to1997. The Collectors Committee is currently chaired by Barney A. Ebsworth and Doris Fisher, both major collectors of twentieth-century art. Fisher, who lives in San Francisco, is co-founder with her husband, Donald, of The Gap. The National Gallery of Art and Sculpture Garden, located on the National Mall between Third and Ninth Streets at Constitution Avenue, NW, is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5.p.m. The Gallery is closed on 25 December and 1 January.
