University of New Mexico Art Museum

[1] In the early years following the opening of the museum in 1963, significant exhibitions were held of the work of Georgia O'Keeffe, Bror Julius Olsson Nordfeldt, Cady Wells, Andrew Dasburg, John Marin, and other Modernists.

The museum holds a collection of works by photographer Beaumont Newhall, who became a professor of art history at UNM in 1971.

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation provided grant funding for the acquisition of several works in the collection.

The museum holds 481 daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, ivorytypes, and tintypes purchased from the estate of California art collector Theodore J. Labhard.

The museum holds 82 photographs by Carl Van Vechten, whose work depicted many notable figures of the Harlem Renaissance from the 1930s through the 1950s.

The collection came to the University of New Mexico in 1955–1956 after Edward Leuder, an English professor at UNM, published a biography of Van Vechten.

The Tamarind Institute is a division of the College of Fine Arts, while its Archives are part of the university's Center for Southwest Research at Zimmerman Library.

The museum holds many works contributed by Clinton Adams, who served as dean at UNM.

This collection includes some 300 prints and posters of the Taller de Gráfica Popular, the Mexico City art cooperative.

The items in the collection are split between the Art Museum and the Center for Southwest Research at the UNM General Library.

This collection of 94 pieces of Spanish colonial silver and 22 mainly 19th-century santos (New Mexican religious sculptures) was donated by bequest in 1939 by Albuquerque mayor Neill B.
