The Permanent Art Collection is owned by The Potsdam College Foundation and is offered to the SUNY Potsdam community as a unique resource to the campus and surrounding region. The Collection comprises approximately 2,300 objects and is rich in Mid-20th Century Modern and Contemporary Art. When possible, The Permanent Collection is displayed in The Gibson and Hosmer Galleries. Parts of the Collection is also displayed on campus in an open museum concept. Much can be viewed along the corridors in buildings designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes for just this purpose.
In addition to the strong Mid-20th Century American Art in The Collection, there are superb sub-collections of Post WWII Japanese and Italian works, which were collected by Roland Gibson, the first official curator of The Permanent Collection. There are also the sparkling “gems” in the Native American work of the Uffer Inuit Collection and in the unique Andy Warhol Photographic and Print Collections.
