Over one hundred works of art by the late Frederick Hammersley (American, 1919-2009.) were acquired by the UNM Art Museum in late December 2011. Among this group is the Museum’s purchase of Right On, 1995, from the “Organics” series, thirty rare figure drawings, ca. 1941 – 1985, and, a complete set of seventy-two computer prints, created in 1969, all of which were generously donated by the Frederick Hammersley Foundation.
The President and Executive Director, Kathleen Shields, has said, “The Frederick Hammersley Foundation is very pleased to donate these works to the University of New Mexico Art Museum. As one of our first gifts in Frederick Hammersley's name, it exemplifies our mission to promote the value of art in the life of the community through donating to public, and especially educational, institutions with which he was associated.”
