The generosity of the Museum’s Collectors’ Circle members and additional contributors enabled the Asheville Art Museum to acquire twenty-nine new artworks for its Collection at the end of 2022. The Museum welcomed artworks created throughout the 20th and 21st centuries in a range of media, representing both regionally and nationally recognized artists. These artists included Jasper Johns, Luzene Hill of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, two objects by Asheville-born Sherrill Roland, 10 silver gelatin photographs of the people and culture of Appalachia by Shelby Lee Adams, and three ceramic sculptures by Wesley Harvey.
The Museum is grateful for these new year-end acquisitions, which add to the strengths of its more than 7,500 holdings, and looks forward to sharing them with the community of Western North Carolina and its many visitors in the years to come.
