For those of you who have visited the gallery, you know that we have a HUGE inventory of art. It’s impossible to hang every piece – there just aren’t enough walls! As a consequence, some works get stored in the back. We have one room in particular filled with large pieces. Everyone makes a point to rotate the art and get these pieces displayed, but still, I thought it would be nice to highlight some of these enormous gems.

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.
