Gold Rush

There are few substances more celebrated than gold. Associated with the sun, and its life giving powers, it has been used as a symbol of status, wealth and power. Aside from that, it’s freaking gorgeous! We literally move mountain to unearth it. Artists have been drawn to the color since they were painting in caves, using a much more readily available substance, ocher, to capture the qualities of this beguiling color.

The Rental Sales Gallery, Portland Art Museum recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum now stands.

These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia River.

We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities - past, present, future - and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
