A Life of Collecting highlights the contribution of Malcolm Whyte ’55 and Karen Whyte to forming the contemporary Native American collection at the Johnson Museum. These gifts cover several decades of practice by Native American artists, from traditional art forms to activist art that reclaims their contemporary relevance.
This exhibition was curated by Hugo C. Ikehara-Tsukayama, Harris Family Curator of the Arts of the Americas.
