Zan Ng
Founder and Executive Director of MOCA New York

Since the pop art movement of Warhol and Liechtenstein, Zan has been a collector, seeking out unique talent with vibrant and resonating work. With MOCA New York, Zan has spared no effort in his support of the arts and rising stars in the industry. He actively promotes the exchange of culture and ideas, expanding the boundaries of contemporary art, and persistently supports the concept “People’s Aesthetic,” allowing art to enter people’s lives.
He, himself, started in the art scene as a photographer. New to the shores of New York City in the late-1970s, Zan took to the streets with a manual Nikon and $68 in his pocket. His work consisted of portraiture for ambitious actors and budding artists. Though his means were humble in his early years, his career skyrocketed when he matched his photography skills with marketing.
