ART OF THE UNITED STATES

The Nasher Museum owns a representative group of works by Hudson River School painters and other nineteenth-century American landscape painters, one painting and 185 wood engravings by Winslow Homer, and works by many of the Ashcan School artists. This collection has significantly grown thanks to a gift in 2010 from a Duke Alumnus that includes works by Edward Potthast, Charles Burchfield, Thomas Hart Benton and Andrew Wyeth.

The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University owns more than 10,000 works of art. As part of its mission, the Nasher Museum created this online database to make its collections accessible to a wide audience. This is an ongoing project, so please check back periodically to browse new entries. Some data may change as a result of ongoing research.
