Recent Acquisitions

The collection of the Rollins Museum of Art is constantly expanding. Generous gifts and strategic purchases enrich and diversify our holdings, offering opportunities to engage with unique works of art. This installation features recent acquisitions on a rotating basis, allowing us to share with our visitors some of our new treasures soon after they become part of the museum’s collection. The selection reflects the museum’s sustained commitment to acquiring works in various media, from different periods, and by artists of diverse backgrounds, in alignment with our teaching mission and the curriculum of a liberal arts education. You may see some of these objects in context as part of themed exhibitions in the future.

This rotation includes works by artists Domenico Pagano, Amy Sherald, and Jacques Villon, among others.
