The West Collection is the contemporary art collection founded by Al and Paige West in 1996. Their vision is to support emerging artists by collecting their work and showcasing the pieces at the publicly traded investment firm SEI, which was founded by Al West in 1968. Paige West has put together a program around the collection at SEI, where 3,000 financial service employees work among the artwork and engage with it through tours, classes and related programming. To date, the Wests have collected the work of 820 artists, and the collection contains 3,600 artworks. The West Collection rotates pieces at SEI's main campus in Oaks, where employees and 10,000 outside visitors each year interact with the continually changing installations. West Collection artworks have also been loaned to SEI satellite offices in New York, London, Dublin, Johannesburg, Indianapolis, Denver, Hong Kong, and Toronto. Paige West is committed to allowing the collected works to be available back to the artists for museum exhibitions, and numerous institutions have borrowed works over the last 29 years, including the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Broad, and the Tate Modern.
