Reflecting on Collecting

BIMA displays the largest selection ever of artwork in the Permanent Art Collection (PAC). Art will be featured on a rotating basis, making this a great opportunity to review the PAC at the twelve-year mark, and to reflect on and inform our collecting priorities for the coming years.

Included are favorite works by Humaira Abid, Larry (Ulaaq) Ahvakana, Jenny Andersen, Gayle Bard, Barbara Helen Berger, William Ingham, Louise Kikuchi, Phillip Levine, Robert McCauley, Linda Okazaki, Paul Rucker, Ramona Solberg, and Preston Wadley, plus new acquisitions by Pat DeCaro, Eric Chamberlain, Charles Emerson, Dennis Evans & Nancy Mee, Barbara Lawrence, and William Turner.
