The collection is both a permanent asset and a teaching tool. Now constituting one of the best institutional collections in Alabama, it also illustrates the passing currents that keep the visual arts a vital and incisive record of contemporary history.
–James R. Nelson, visual arts critic for the Birmingham News and former executive director of the Alabama School of Fine Arts
