| The Davis Museum and Cultural Center recently
acquired the Nancy Gray Sherrill, Class of 1954, Collection
of twentieth-century prints by American artists. The collection
features key works by artists and movements important
to the history of twentieth-century American art as well as
an array of printmaking techniques. The Sherrills’ gift
also includes a significant commitment to funding future acquisitions
that will allow for considerable development of the Davis’ collection
of American prints. The Nancy Gray Sherrill, Class of 1954,
Collection significantly expands the museum’s holdings
of works on paper and the depth of the collection as a whole
and will prove to be an invaluable resource for students, faculty,
and visitors. Currently, the museum is featuring an exhibition
of highlights from the Sherrill Collection, reflecting the
collecting interests of Joseph N. and Nancy Gray Sherrill (Class
of 1954). American
Identities: Twentieth-Century Prints from the Nancy Gray Sherrill,
Class of 1954, Collection, curated by Elaine
Mehalakes, the Nancy Gray Sherrill, Class of 1954, Curatorial
Fellow, was accompanied by an exhibition
catalogue and a searchable online database
