Steve Cohens' daughter Sophie recalls spending all her 'piggy bank money' on a Roy Lichtenstein-inspired art piece

While the New York Mets' owner Steve Cohen has a passion for baseball, his daughter Sophie is passionate about art. Apart from being a daughter of Mets' owner Cohen, Sophie is a renowned art collector and founder of "Siren Projects," a club dedicated to connecting art with its admirers. Sophie Cohen recently opened up about her passion for art since childhood.
Just like every kid, Sophie Cohen spent all her "piggy bank money" on buying the thing that she found most attractive back in her childhood. From an early age, Sophie had a passion and love for art. This is the reason why, when she saw a Roy Lichtenstein-inspired art piece in her childhood, she didn't think twice before breaking her piggy bank to buy it.

On Wednesday, Sophie Cohen released an interview with Hollywood actor Russell Tovey to talk about their love for art. During one of the interactions, Sophie recalled her childhood memory of breaking her piggy bank to buy herself an art inspired by Roy Lichtenstein. Opening up about the same, Sophie Cohen said:
"Lichtenstein was also one of the first to draw me into art. I bought something at a local fair inspired by Lichtenstein and used all my piggy bank money for it. Once you get the bug, you get the bug."

Moving forward in the interview, Sophie Cohen talked about how she feels that "art is a privilege." Talking about how access to art isn't as easy as watching TV or listening to the radio, Sophie expressed:
"When we were kids, we watched things on our TV or listened to things on the radio. There are access points in our everyday lives, but art is a privilege. It takes a little bit of effort to go see."

While Steve Cohen often leads the headlines due to his high-fame Mets-owner life, his daughter Sophie rarely entertains media attention. Nevertheless, Sophie Cohen did make headlines earlier this year when she got married to her now-husband Harrison Waterstreet, who's been working as a CAA agent.
