A Brief Overview of the Hearst Art Gallery, the museum of Saint Mary's College of California
For thirty years, the Gallery has been known for diverse, museum-quality exhibitions, publications and educational programs. The William Keith Collection of 175 paintings by California's late 19th century landscape master highlights the permanent collection of more than 3700 works of art that also includes 350 ethnographic objects from Africa, Papua New Guinea, and Asia and 152 Andy Warhol photographs.
Special exhibitions include a wide range of contemporary, historic, ethnographic, and international subjects, including British, Hungarian and Austrian modernist painting, early artists of the Bohemian Club, Japanese woodblock prints, Russian Icons, modern Christian art, Hopi ethnographic objects, Navajo textiles, African healing sculpture, contemporary African women artists, Aboriginal painting, Hubble Space Telescope images, retablos from Mexico, and musical instruments from around the world.
Solo exhibitions have featured such notable artists as Mark Rothko, Winslow Homer, Ruth Bernhard, Rupert Garcia, Stephen De Staebler, Raymond Saunders, Wayne Thiebaud, Nathan Oliveira, Manuel Neri, Bella Feldman, Sandow Birk, Gregory Kondos, Frank Lobdell, Carlos Villa, and William Wolff.
A rotating selection of William Keith paintings is always on view in the Keith Gallery.
The Gallery is accredited by the American Association of Museums; the most recent and third accreditation was awarded in 2007.
