Oglethorpe University Museum's Permanent Collection brings together from many sources works of exceptional quality, beauty and intrigue. These artworks, including paintings, sculpture, prints and photography, are primarily drawn from exhibitions which we originated, and hence we were able to study them closely for an extended period of time before deciding to add them to our collection. Collectively they represent a synthesis of our efforts to offer our community a discriminating resource to experience the highest quality realist, international and spiritual art in a comfortable, intimate environment. Among our collection are paintings
by contemporary realist painters such as Richard Maury, D. Jeffrey
Mims and Francisco Roa, rare family photographs of Claude Monet
at Giverny, and an original engraving of Victor Hugo by sculptor
August Rodin. Recent gifts
and acquisitions include watercolors by Francis Augustus Silva and
Sondra Freckelton, Chad Awalt’s finely carved torso, and Gail
Wegodsky’s oil interior scene. As we are a university museum, the works which we have chosen for our Permanent Collection become a part of our university's endowment. As such, they represent an investment which, in the future, will be considered not only a special cultural asset for the university and the community, but one which will grow both in importance and value as well.
