About the Collection

The museum has a significant collection of works on paper, including a large suite of works by master printmakers Dole Reed and J. Jay McVicker. A major gift in 1985, from OSU alumnus Bill Goldston, of prints published by Universal Limited Art Editions were a foundational collection for the university. A recent gift of over 700 works on paper by Leon Polk Smith, one of the founders of the hard-edge style of minimal abstraction, is also housed in the museum's collection and serves as a major research archive.
