To Have It About You
New York art collectors Dorothy and Herbert Vogel have amassed a broad and important collection featuring minimalist, conceptual, and other work by innovative 20th century American artists. Working with the National Gallery of Art, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Vogels have launched an unprecedented gift program that distributes much of their collection to one museum from each U.S. state. The Weisman Art Museum is the proud Minnesota recipient of this generous gift and will receive works by Will Barnet, Robert Barry, Lisa Bradley, Charles Clough, Mark Kostabi, Michael Lucero, Lucio Pozzi, Barbara Schwartz, and Richard Tuttle, among others. Chosen for its location at the university, its focus on American art, and its commitment to education and accessibility, the Weisman is thrilled to add these works to its overall collection of twentieth century American art.
Weisman Art Museum
Housed in a striking stainless steel and brick building designed by architect Frank Gehry, the Weisman Art Museum offers an educational and friendly museum experience. The museum's collection features early 20th century American artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe and Marsden Hartley, as well as a diverse selection of contemporary art. A teaching museum for the University of Minnesota and the community, the Weisman provides a fresh, engaging arts experience through an array of programs and a changing schedule of exhibitions.
