Selections from the Cleveland Clinic Collection
Cleveland Clinic Main Campus – M Lobby
October 24, 2007 – May 15, 2008
Over the past 18 months, the Cleveland Clinic Art Program has been actively building the Clinic art collection with new works by contemporary artists. The newest exhibition, People, Places & Things represents a small set of diverse works by artists including Seydou Keita, Tim Callahan, Willie Cole, and Judith Linhares. This is a rare opportunity to see works together that will eventually be permanently installed in locations throughout the Main Campus buildings.
This exhibition highlights recent acquisitions by the Cleveland Clinic Art Program. The art that is chosen for the collection includes works from all corners of the world. In this exhibition, there are artists working from Cleveland to Mali, and from Australia to New York. Currently the art collection includes over 2,500 works on paper, photographs, paintings, mixed media and experimental works of art that are distributed throughout the Clinic system.
Cleveland Clinic’s Art Program creates a positive environment by building an art collection which includes works by local, national, and international artists. There is a focus on contemporary art, which fosters an environment of creative excellence, encourages dialogue and challenges viewers to experience diverse points of view. The mission of the Art Program is to enrich, inspire and enliven our patients, visitors, employees and community and to embody the core values of the institution: collaboration, quality, integrity, compassion, and commitment.
