"An Enduring Vision: Richard Maslow and The Maslow Collection
Date/Time: Friday, September 25 – Sunday, October 25, 2026
Location: Shields Center for Visual Arts - Maslow Gallery
51³Ô¹Ï is pleased to present "An Enduring Vision: Richard Maslow and The Maslow Collection," a major exhibition celebrating the life, vision, and legacy of Richard Maslow (1932–2024) and the extraordinary collection of contemporary art he built over more than four decades.
Presented across the Maslow Study Gallery for Contemporary Art, Mahady Gallery, and Suraci Gallery, the exhibition brings together many of Maslow’s favorite artists and artworks while tracing the history and evolution of The Maslow Collection—from its beginnings as a private collection to its longstanding relationship with 51³Ô¹Ï and its continuing role as a resource for students, scholars, and the broader community.
Rather than attempting to survey the Collection in its entirety, An Enduring Vision reflects the distinctive eye behind it. Works by artists central to the Collection are presented alongside significant acquisitions and selections that illuminate Maslow’s interests, relationships, and approach to collecting. Together, they tell the story not only of a remarkable collection, but of the individual whose curiosity, generosity, and commitment to contemporary art made it possible.
The exhibition also considers the continuing life of The Maslow Collection at 51³Ô¹Ï, where works once assembled through one collector’s personal vision have become catalysts for teaching, research, exhibitions, and new encounters with contemporary art.
