Description

The Luther College Fine Arts Collection presents fine art works to students and the larger community. While many of the artists represented in the Collection originated from the upper midwest, exemplified by College Artist Orville Running, most notable works were created by artists outside that area. Collection concentrations include works by California potter Marguerite Wildenhain; German Expressionist Gerhard Marcks, and New York artist Frans Wildenhain. Norwegian-American art, principally represented by the artist Herbj?rn Gausta, pre-Columbian pottery; and Inuit sculptures are also prominent elements of the Fine Arts Collection.

Mission

We strive to maintain the highest professional curatorial activities while addressing the unique needs of our audience--largely a college community. Our teaching collection is regularly utilized for classes in a variety of subject areas including art, history, modern languages, aesthetics and museum studies.
