Southwestern Art
Eugene B. Adkins devoted much of his life to collecting art of the American West. By the time of his death in 2006, Adkins had amassed one of the largest and finest collections of its kind in private hands. In his early years as a collector, the Tulsa native acquired a broad range of European-American and Native American artists and styles, from representational to modern, including works by such renowned western masters as Alfred Jacob Miller, Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. In time, however, he focused his collecting interests on artists working in the American Southwest during the first half of the 20th century. As a result, the Adkins collection is particularly rich in works by members of the Taos Society of Artists, modernists such as John Sloan, Andrew Dasburg and Maynard Dixon, and Russian expatriates, Nicolai Fechin and Leon Gaspard, among many others.
