o recent video w

orks by Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson, w

hich were joined by the gift of

a 1986 wall sculpture by Louise N

evelson. In 2014, eighty additional works of

contemporary art w

ere donated by Ann and G

raham G

ollege C

ollection includes a range of pre-20th-century art, works related to the

College’s history and alum

ation researched and written by G

und Associates, the

museum

’s dynamic interns.
