Contemporary Collections

More recent works by artists such as Jun Kaneko, Chuck Forsman and Wanxin Zhang bring the Art Museum collections to the present day. Varying across a spectrum of media, the contemporary collections continue to develop with a broad range of artists from the late 20th and 21st centuries and provide original resource material for students and scholars to view and study in the future.
