The exhibition charts the Museum's collecting goals and exhibition history over the past 15 years, with significant representation of Latin American and Latino artists, artists from Arizona and artists in residence at the Museum.
Collecting Contemporary Art features selections of works acquired in part or in whole by the FUNd at ASU Art Museum, an endowment established by the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation. From monumental found-object installations to print
portfolios of etchings and lithographs, the international pieces share a current of experimentation and an exploration of social and political concerns.
