A Lauren Rogers Museum of Art Purchase in honor of
Evelyn and Michael Jefcoat, 2008.12
Every so often, we open the vault, bring out our recent
acquisitions, and celebrate the additions made possible by the
generous support of the community. Since our last Recent
Acquisitions exhibition in September 2003, the Museum has
acquired by gift, purchase, and bequest, approximately 75 works
of art. While the majority of these were added to our
American Art collection, several were added to the European,
Native American basketry, and Japanese Ukiyo-e print collection.
Many media, including weaving, collage, textile, painting, works
on paper, and assemblage are represented in the exhibition.
Also included are important works by Mississippi artists William
Dunlap and Ethel Wright Mohamed; two new baskets by contemporary
Native American weaver Pat Courtney Gold; and the first addition
to the Japanese Ukiyo-e print collection in many decades, a
triptych by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, The Dragon King's Palace (1858).
