The Driskell Collection
David C. Driskell (1931–2020) was not only a distinguished artist, scholar, and curator, but also a friend, champion and mentor to generations of African-American artists.
Over decades and through strong connections with artists, scholars, and fellow collectors, David and his wife, Thelma G. Driskell, developed an important personal collection. Their collection reflects a broad lineage, spanning from 19th-century landscape painter Edward Mitchell Bannister to late-20th-century icons such as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, and Alma Thomas.
