historical notes Barbara Doyle Duncan was a collector, art historian, promoter and donor of Latin American art.

In 1979 she helped plan the first auction of Latin American art at Sotheby's in New York.

She and her husband donated their collection, considered one of the best ensembles of post-1960's Latin American work in the United States, to the Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery (now the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art) at the University of Texas, Austin.
