| The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky has a long-standing commitment to collecting and exhibiting works by regional artists. The collection contains works by painters passing through the state, such as Edward Troye and George Healy, as well as native-born artists who achieved both regional and national prominence, from Hattie Hutchcraft Hill and Norris Embry to Marvin and Morgan Smith and Ralph Eugene Meatyard. The Museum’s collection embraces a diversity of styles and approaches, ranging in work by the self-taught Edgar Tolson to the academic master Frank Duveneck. The collection also includes landmark examples by contemporary artists of the region, such as current and former University of Kentucky faculty members Robert Tharsing, Arturo Alonzo Sandoval, Deborah Frederick, Marilyn Hamann, and John Tuska, as well as other nationally acclaimed artists with Kentucky ties: Jane Burch Cochran, Jay Bolotin, Daniel Ludwig, Sheldon Tapley, Linda Butler, and Sam Gilliam. | |
