Abigail Ogilvy Gallery is thrilled that "Split Arch (Mended)," by Elspeth Schulze has been acquired by the Tweed Museum of Art at the University of Duluth. The artwork will now be a part of the museum's prestigious permanent collection that aims to support artists and encourage access to art by all.
Elspeth Schulze (b. 1985, Grand Coteau, LA) is a studio artist based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Schulze makes sculptural wall works that marry ornament with architecture, pairing geometric structure with organic, often plant-based forms. Her practice combines ceramic, wood and textile processes and pairs digital fabrication with traditional methods of making. Schulze holds an MFA in ceramics from the University of Colorado Boulder, a degree in fashion design from the Fashion Institute of Technology New York, and a BA in literature and visual art from Loyola University, New Orleans. Recent exhibition venues include Oklahoma Contemporary in Oklahoma City, OK, Wasserman Projects in Detroit, MI, Tinney Contemporary in Nashville, TN, and Spring Break Art Fairs in NY and LA. She is currently an alumni-in-residence at the Tulsa Artist Fellowship and an upcoming artist-in-residence at Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha, NE.
Tweed Museum of Art is the art museum on the campus of University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). As the steward of a growing permanent collection of more than 11,000 objects, the museum aims to continually improve access for present and future generations through exhibitions, institutional lending, on-request viewing, and digital/online portals. The museum’s exhibition program generates opportunities for close looking and sustained study of original works of art, interdisciplinary teaching and learning, and new research. Housed within UMD’s College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, the Tweed is a cultural asset and resource for students, faculty, staff, and the people of Duluth and throughout Minnesota.
