 Professor Felton Gibbons, following Hall's example, endowed a fund for acquiring works on paper that has allowed gaps in the collection to be filled, including Northern and Central European drawings, and to add to other areas of significance, such as German Expressionism.The modern and contemporary holdings continue to grow, with an emphasis on artists such as Glenn Ligon, Martin Puryear, Robert Rauschenberg, and Kiki Smith, who are a vital part of the teaching curriculum of the University.Henry Pearlman started his collection with the 1945 purchase, for $825, of Chaim Soutine's "View of Céret", seen in the window of the Parke-Bernet auction house while walking down Park Avenue.
