Agnes Gund (August 13, 1938 – September 18, 2025) was an American philanthropist, arts patron, art collector, and arts education and social justice advocate. She was President Emerita and Life Trustee of the Museum of Modern Art and Chairman of its International Council. She was a board member of MoMA PS1. In 1977, in response to New York City budget cuts to arts education in public schools, Gund founded Studio in a School, a nonprofit that engages professional artists as art instructors in public schools and community-based organizations.
