A gift of 100 contemporary drawings from the collection of JoAnn Gonzalez Hickey was presented to the Minneapolis Institute of Art as a year-end gift. The selection of drawings, dating from 1980 to 2014, reflects Gonzalez Hickey’s passion for supporting early- to mid-career artists and embracing a variety of media used to create the drawings, including pen and ink, colored pencil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and collage. Among the 53 international artists represented in the gift are such prominent figures as Joseph Amar, Eve Ashein, William Cordova, Gloria Ortiz-Hernandez, and Joan Witek. The gift will significantly enhance Mia’s collection of contemporary works on paper.
