The Albany Museum of Art is always looking for opportunities to collect pieces that support the AMA’s mission and the direction in which the museum wants to grow. The AMA collects works of Georgia-based artists, both past and present, and aims to help elevate their careers by highlighting the quality of work all Georgians can produce.

This past year, the AMA was fortunate to collect multiple pieces of artwork. Recently, two paintings by Jim Yarbrough were generously gifted to the museum by Esther G. and Dr. Michael K. Levine. Since 2020, the museum has collected works by active Georgia-based artists including

Cedric Smith and Elinor Saragoussi. Generous donations of works by New York-based artist Burton Silverman were gifted by the Estate of Mr. Paul W. Doll, Jr., five paintings were donated by Ray Pierotti from his January 2022 exhibition at the AMA, and two prints by Moses and Raphael Soyer were gifted by Bruce and Hope Campbell in 2019.

An exhibition of works recently acquired by the AMA will be on view in the Hodges Gallery beginning Feb 2.
