PUBLIC ART ABOUT The Gund Gallery Dedicated in the fall of 2011, the Graham Gund Gallery advances the role of visual art as a critical centerpiece of Kenyon’s liberal-arts mission by championing the best art and artists of the 20th-and 21st-centuries via an active exhibitions schedule, expanding permanent collection, and formal and informal learning experiences. Public Art at Kenyon College Shortly after the Museum opened several inaugural gifts from alumni donors and board members helped launch the Gund Gallery Collection. Bookending this new collection of 20th- and 21st-century art were gifts of three Lewis Hine photographs from the first decade of the 20th- century and two recent video works by Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson, which were combined with the gift of a 1986 wall sculpture by Louise Nevelson. In 2014, eighty works of contemporary art were donated by Ann and Graham Gund ’63, further securing this collection’s important focus and trajectory. Nearly one hundred additional works have been donated since. The Kenyon College Collection includes a range of pre-20th-century art, works related to the College’s history and alumni, ethnographic objects and material culture and is managed and cared for by the Gund Gallery. Kenyon’s beautiful campus provides the perfect backdrop for a growing roster of important and historically meaningful works of art from the Gund Gallery Collection and the Kenyon College Collection. Public art installations are approved and sited by the Public Art Committee, a group of dedicated faculty members, College administrators, staff members, students, community representatives, and gallery personnel. Publicly displayed works of art now include special QR-code labeling to provide an array of interpretive and historical information researched and written by Gund Associates, the museum’s student interns.
