Welcome to Found in Collection, a blog about the George Washington University Collection, overseen by the Luther W. Brady Art Gallery. These posts will be a mixture of new and in-process research, detailed collection write-ups from donor newsletters, and legacy posts from the archives.
A little bit about the collection: As many art collections at institutions of higher learning are, the GW Collection was formed organically as Columbian College, then the George Washington University, grew. Consisting now of over 3,500 paintings, photographs, prints, and sculpture, the collection continues to grow. Notable sub-collections include the Corcoran Study Collection, the W. Lloyd Wright Collection of Washingtoniana, Polaroid and Black and White photographs by Andy Warhol, and the recently donated Luther W. Brady Estate.
