About the Event
Reception Sep 5, 5-7 pm
This exhibition celebrates one of The Trout Gallery’s most generous donors: art historian, curator, educator, and Dickinson College alumnus Eric Denker ’75, PhD. Since his graduation from Dickinson College fifty years ago, Dr. Denker earned his doctorate from the University of Virginia, worked as a Senior Lecturer at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and served as the Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Over the decades, The Trout Gallery has received nearly 900 objects from Dr. Denker. The breadth of Dr. Denker’s giving not only reflects his own passions as a collector, but he also leaves a significant imprint upon the community by fostering a deeper understanding of the arts across time periods and cultures.
