The Hill Collection

The Hill Collection includes the personal art collection of J. Tomilson and Janine Hill, who have avidly collected over the past three decades, as well as works that the Hills have irrevocably dedicated to charitable purposes.

The Hill Collection focuses on in-depth collecting within four major categories: Renaissance and Baroque bronzes, Old Master paintings, Post-War figurative Modern Masters, and emerging Contemporary artists. One of the Hill Collection’s defining features is how it creates dialogue among works of art across diverse periods and mediums. Works from the Hill Collection have been loaned to prominent museums worldwide, including the 2014 exhibition of Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes from the Hill Collection at The Frick Collection, which featured thirty-three Renaissance sculptures and marked the first time that the Frick displayed Post-War artwork in the museum. 

J. Tomilson and Janine Hill are based in New York.
