Works by David Butler
Several works by preeminent African American environment builder David Butler have been acquired and undergone conservation treatment. Most importantly, three "screens," actually paintings that are documented as having covered windows in his residence, have been added to the permanent collection of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Several other works including a large whirligig also joined the collection. David Butler's works are in major museum collections in the U.S. and have been exhibited at the Smithsonian and High Museum of Art.
