Artworks Transferred to Yale Art Gallery

August 21, 2019

By Nancy Kuhl

In August 2019, a number of important artworks in the Yale Collection of American Literature were permanently transferred to the Yale University Art Gallery (see the complete list of works below; images of these works can be found online here: Artworks Transferred to YUAG – Images). These works may periodically be installed in the YUAG galleries, where they may be viewed by students and scholars (see: YUAG Hours and Directions).

Please direct questions about the works to the American Paintings and Sculpture Collection at the Art Gallery. Questions about the archival collections to which these artworks belonged while housed at the Beinecke Library should be addressed to the Curators of the Yale Collection of American Literature.
