This film documents an intimate visit to the couple's famous art collection in their New York City home. The Ganz's describe how they began to collect art in the 1940's, citing Picasso as their first passion. The couple soon became infatuated with more contemporary artists such as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Frank Stella. On a serendipitous Saturday afternoon in 1968, Victor Ganz came upon the work of Eva Hesse in New York's Fischbach Gallery. He was immediately attracted by its freshness and spirit, and together Victor and Sally not only became major collectors, but also soon thereafter close friends of the artist. After the artist's untimely death, Sally and Victor Ganz became instrumental in placing Hesse's key works in significant international museums.
