About the Collections
The Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Galleries permanent collection consists of over 1,500 art objects across three main collections: the Self-Taught Art Collection, the Faculty and Alumni Collection, and the University Art Collection.
The Self-Taught Art Collection was principally collected by Baron and Ellin Gordon during their travels through the United States in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The collection consists of widely known self-taught, folk, and outsider artists, as well as regional artists working in the Tidewater. Over 160 artists are represented in the collection that includes Thornton Dial, Howard Finster, Mose Tolliver, Lonnie Holley, Nellie Mae Rowe, James Castle, Prophet Royal Robertson, Purvis Young, Herbert Singleton, and many more.
The Faculty and Alumni Collection consists of works by notable faculty and alumni of 惇蹋圖s Art Department including Charles K. Sibley, Alexander Brooks A.B Jackson, Florence Fay Zetlin, Ken Daley, Wallace Wally Dreyer, Ernest Mauer, Solomon Isekeije, Robert Vick, and Josef Sch羹tzenh繹fer.
The University Art Collection includes works of art that have been donated to 惇蹋圖 over the years. Noteworthy features include global textiles like Korean jogakbo and a 17th century Iberian dossal curtain, photographs by Margot Blank, archival prints of university exhibitions, and a Ginny Ruffner sculpture Color Poem of a Vertical Landscape (2002) currently on loan to the Barry Art Museum.
Access to the collections is available to researchers and 惇蹋圖 classes in coordination with the Gordon Art Galleries Curator.
