In 2004, University of Oklahoma President
David L. Boren announced the donation of an important collection
of Southwestern art - 12 masterworks by members of the Taos Society
of Artists - to the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art by Priscilla C.
and Joseph N. Tate of Tulsa. The collection is extremely strong
with paintings of superior quality ranging from Kenneth Adams to
Walter Ufer. The Tate Collection complements the museum’s
existing collection of works by the Taos Society of Artists in the
Thams and Fleischaker Collections.
