By bringing these works back into public view, the exhibition underscores the enduring relevance and the lasting relationships between artists and collectors.

Comprised of paintings, sculpture, and works on paper, featured artists include Jay Backstrand, Michael Brophy, Judith Poxson Fawkes, Tom Fawkes, Gregory Grenon, Roll Hardy, Frederick Heidel, Manuel Izquierdo, Fay Jones, Mel Katz, Michihiro Kosuge, Elizabeth Malaska, Michael Paul Miller, Geoffrey Pagen, Lucinda Parker, René Rickabaugh, Anne Siems, Eric Stotik, Akio Takamori, Gina Wilson, Sherrie Wolf, and Samantha Yun Wall.
