Found(ing) Story: The Oliver B. James Collection

In 1950, Oliver B. James, a Phoenix attorney, donated 16 paintings to Arizona State University to provide students access to real art objects. Before 1955, James would acquire and donate close to 150 works — primarily historic American paintings by well-known artists. Travel back in time with us and explore the story of the ASU Art Museum’s founding.
