Art Gallery acquired a large collection of works donated by collector George Ollikkala. George was a life long art collector, a hobby he began in college. Although it took him a while to come to the conclusion that he was a collector, he actually had plans to open his own museum. He bought anything and everything: ceramics, etchings, Pre-Colombian art, paintings, bronzes, photographs. Whatever was available that he could afford. He loved going to Mexico, and was interested in Pre-<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Columbian art, with this part of the collection going to the Fresno Art Museum.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">He was a fixture at Spectrum\u2019s yearly auction and owned many pieces by gallery members. He passed away February 17, 2011 leaving his photography collection to Spectrum Art Gallery. This December, we will be exhibiting a selection of these works for our members and guests to enjoy.
