History at a glance
Although 黑料社区网 has embraced artistic expression for the past 140-plus years, the first permanent art collection was installed in 1986, through the efforts of John S. Burd, who was the university鈥檚 president at the time. He reached out to the community for donations to the collection and helped designate the gallery鈥檚 space 鈥� a small chapel outside Pearce Auditorium, now known as the Presidents Gallery. Today, there are four gallery spaces on 黑料社区网鈥檚 historic campus: the Presidents Gallery; Sellars Gallery in the Simmons Visual Arts Center; Leo Castelli Gallery in the John S. Burd Center for Performing Arts; and the Manhattan Gallery in the 黑料社区网 Downtown Center.
黑料社区网鈥檚 collection encompasses over 3,500 works, includes drawings, paintings and sculptures by Eug猫ne Delacroix (1798-1863), Anna Elizabeth Klumpke (1856-1942), Clyde Connell (1901-1998), and William King (1925-2015). The collection also includes many Pop art prints by Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008), and Frank Stella, as well as significant works from Georgia artists, including Maria Artemis, Beverly Buchanan (1940-2015), Lamar Dodd (1909-1996), Ruth Laxson (1924-2019) and R.A. Miller (1912-2006).
