This thesis aims to trace the history of painting and statues collection of the first President of Republic of Indonesia, Dr. Ir. Sukarno. More than 2000 works that have been collected during his life invites the author to trace the various things that happen in it. Tracking the history of this collection was carried out to prove that Sukarno was a strong art lover. This thesis uses a multidisciplinary approach. Two approaches are historical and biographical approach. His story which is very close to art and artists gave a knot about the emergence of artistic and aesthetic awareness. This realization became the basis for all behavior and actions, both as personal and as president. Two of this awareness also has produced an interesting effect, namely the attitudes of the self- Sukarno's patronage. Either one of these attitudes is to collect paintings and sculptures of high quality. On the other hand, his patronage attitude marked by the publication of books of paintings and sculptures. It made his name immortal in the world of art. Sukarno with all its flaws and strengths as a human being has incarnated as a total figure of nation builders and strong. He was, besides a master politician, has become the greatest art patron in Indonesia, which until now has not been defeated.
