Passion and Patronage: Gifts from the Gerald Mead Collection
The role of patrons in supporting the arts is paramount to building strong creative communities. This exhibition emphasizes the process by which 鈥減rivate鈥� artworks eventually become 鈥減ublic,鈥� a component of building museum collections.
For 25 years, Buffalo art collector Dr. Gerald C. Mead Jr. donated artwork to the Castellani Art Museum (CAM), in some cases, purchasing work for the Museum to bridge collection gaps. These gifts included works by renowned artists such as John Baldessari, Beverly Pepper, and Jenny Holzer.
