Fowler in Focus: The Collector and the Dealer: Gifts of African Art from Jay T. Last and Merton D. Simpson
A museum’s collection is always in a state of change and transformation. New objects are regularly added to the permanent collection through gifts and purchases, and both donors and art dealers are key players in this process. This exhibition explores how the decades-long friendship of two individuals—the late New York-based African art dealer and artist Merton D. Simpson and the collector, physicist, and Fowler Museum patron Jay T. Last—created a lasting impact on the growth and development of the Fowler’s African art collection.
