Museums African American Art

A 2004 gift to the University of Delaware by the Alabama-born and Atlanta-based collector Paul R. Jones (1928-2010) serves as a foundation for the University's growing collection of African American art. In addition to the Paul R. Jones donation with strengths in contemporary art by artists from the Northern, Southern and mid-Atlantic regions, the African American art collection at the University of Delaware includes a survey of prints gifted by the Brandywine Workshop in Philadelphia, photographs by P.H. Polk, and works by Wilmington artist Edward L. Loper, Sr. (1916-2011). Recent additions include work by Felrath Hines, Floyd Coleman, Peter Williams and the Nigerian-American artist Fatimah Tuggar.
