Would eliminate:
Julio Bittencourt , Prestes Maia, $12,000 -- I'm not comfortable purchasing work we haven't seen in person.
Fred Cray* (Travel Diaries, $6,000& $5,000) -- I love this work a lot, but I think the Doug Keyes prints, which use a similar technique that addresses similar themes, would be more pertinent in our university setting.
Lalla Essayadi * $9,000 -- It seems like our group has been interested in expanding the collection to include different types of artwork, and I think this does overlap too much with pieces in the collection which raise questions about ethnic identity. It's a great piece, but I am more excited at the variety that some of the other works we've looked at could bring to the collection.
Sarah Anne Johnson, artic wonderland -- This was a tough decision because her work is engaging and whimsical, which would make it work great in a public collection, but the other work we're looking at is stronger.
