Also seen for the first time will be works by Diebenkorn, Oliviera and others in honor of the late Gurdon Woods, a gift in honor of his retirement by emeritus faculty member Malaquias Montoya, a gift of Arneson drawings from the estate in honor of Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef, an Arneson portrait of the late Roy de Forest given by the estate, and much more.
