University of Utah (Utah Museum of Fine Arts)

The Utah Museum of Fine Arts will use its grant to purchase and install new storage equipment and supplies in which to properly rehouse the museum’s 1,370 collection of works on paper. These works are by American artists of the 19th and 20th centuries and include nearly 300 drawings, 1,000 prints, and 100 watercolors. Included in the collection is the late-19th-century etching entitled, Ophelia, by Anna Lea Merritt, whose work was represented in the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.
