H. de Young Memorial Museum; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Taipei Fine Arts Museum; the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts; the National Museum of History; the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art; the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art; the Racine Art Museum; the Rhode Island School of Design Museum; the Spencer Museum of Art; the University of Iowa Museum of Art; and the Victoria and Albert Museum.[4]

Buzio died of cancer at her home in Greenport, Long Island, aged 65 and survived by her husband, sister and two brothers.[1]
