History
In 1936, art collector William Hayes Ackland wrote letters to three universities, attempting to find a place to bequest his collection to upon his death. Duke University President William Preston Few was receptive to this idea, and had plans drawn up for an art museum at Duke. After the death of both Few and Ackland, Duke refused to accept the gift, for reasons still not disclosed.WEB,weblink Mr. Ackland's Final Resting Place, Ackland Art Museum, en-US, 2019-03-28, Ackland's estate had to posthumously find a new location to build a museum, eventually creating the Ackland Art Museum.NEWS,weblinkweblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20090524155830weblink">weblink dead, May 24, 2009, Mr. Ackland's Wills, 2008-11-30, 1947-06-30Collection

This exhibition of Hendricks' paintings includes work from 1964 to the present. The exhibition will travel to the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Santa Monica Museum (Los Angeles), the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston. There is a definitive full-color exhibition catalogue with over 160 reproductions, edited by the Nasher Museum's curator of contemporary art Trevor Schoonmaker. El Greco to Velazquez: Art during the Reign of Philip III August 21, 2008 â November 9, 2008The Nasher Museum collaborated with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to present this groundbreaking exhibition â the first in the US to focus on Spanish art of the period between 1598 and 1621. The show examines a fascinating period bookended by the two giants of Spanish painting: the late works of El Greco and the early paintings of Velázquez. The exhibition is the culmination of 20 years of research by Sarah Schroth, the Nasher Museum's senior curator.This exhibition includes some 120 paintings, sculptures and decorative art pieces, representing 20 artists. The masters will be seen in context with lesser-known artists working during this time in Spain. The show will bring together works of art from museums around the world, some of which rarely travel outside of their countries, creating a unique opportunity for American audiences. Key loans from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museo del Prado, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, and the National Gallery of Art, among other institutions and private lenders, were secured.References
