NEW YORK---Victoria Rogers, who has spent the past year as director of arts for the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, is one of those people who juggles so many commitments — from work to nonprofit activities to social engagements — that you may feel a little lazy or unpopular by comparison. Art collecting is one of her many pursuits, as evidenced by her crowded Greenwich Village apartment, a studio that is trying, with the addition of a partition, to be a one-bedroom. Pieces by Hank Willis Thomas, Yinka Shonibare and LaToya Ruby Frazier are all on view, demonstrating her passion for work by black contemporary artists. [More]

| Victoria Rogers at her Manhattan apartment. The large piece behind her is the first work she collected: Émile Bernard’s “Vue de Pont-Aven” (1887), which is uncharacteristic of what she collects now. Below the Bernard at left is a work by Bruce High Quality Foundation, based on a photo of Ms. Rogers and a friend. The top drawing is by Lorna Simpson, while on her table are vases by Kara Walker.
