Henry Gallery Association Inc

With a location on the university of washington (uw) campus, a permanent collection of nearly 30,000 objects, and the eleanor henry reed collection study center, the henry is a key cultural resource and training ground in the visual arts for k-20 students, scholars, artists, and general audiences. The collection includes significant holdings in photography, mid-19th to 21st century painting, works on paper including european master prints, a textile and costume collection, and a growing body of works in new media formats. The collection's searchable online database, accessed through the henry's website, is designed to provide many points of entry to information and images associated with collections objects. Annually, more than 4,300 researchers access our collection online. By appointment, we host visitors in our study center, where students, scholars, and the public may view works of art from our permanent collection, free of charge. The henry has a growing collection of important works from the 15th century to the present, including the renowned joseph and elaine monsen collection of photography, and new acquisitions reflecting the dynamic range of contemporary art being created worldwide. Sub-collections of notes are the stimson-bullitt collection of 19th century prints; japanese folk pottery and northwest ceramics; the thomas and frances blakemore collection of japanese prints; the burt and jane berman collection of contemporary art; the william and ruth true collection of contemporary art; the albert feldmann collection of european master prints; and the washington art consortium collection of american photographs, 1970-1980. The henry is able to present a nearly comprehensive survey of printmaking, grounded in its social and political history.
