Fall 1977: Contemporary Collectors

September 25, 1977 to December 18, 1977 |

The Fall 1977: Contemporary Collectors Exhibition has been selected from distinguished collectors in this area with a major focus on contemporary art and chiefly manifestations of the American movement of the post-World War II era.

With this period as a theme for the exhibition, we have brought together a significant body of works born of various tendencies of this movement. In this exhibition we have the opportunity of seeing how the confirmed art collector is not merely a person of particular tastes and means to exercise those tastes, but frequently someone who has both an “eye” to quality and content and a definite sense of time and history. The challenge becomes, for that person, one of acquiring works that possess the nature and stature of something called a “museum piece.”
