Local art collectors to gift San Diego History Center works from 'Collecting San Diego' exhibition
Local art champions and avid collectors Bram and Sandra Dijkstra recently announced they will donate 15 works of art to the San Diego History Center . The donation comes on the heels of a successful exhibition of some of the couple’s massive art collection at the center, all of which centered on artists who lived and worked in San Diego. Titled “,” the exhibition will officially close on Jan. 15, with the remaining donated pieces remaining on display for a few more weeks.
This led to Lawrence asking Bram Dijkstra to go into the center’s vault to assess the “historical and aesthetic” importance of what the center already had in its permanent collection. Once Dijkstra, an accomplished art historian, had completed this assessment, he and his wife were able to identify what was missing and decided that they would donate 15 contemporary art pieces to the center’s permanent collection.
“It’s one of the things that we hope, that with this show, it might help make people more interested in San Diego artists, because it goes through the range of San Diego painters through the century and up to the present,” Bram Dijkstra says. “Each one is quite wonderful.”
