Eide/Dalrymple Gallery

Eide/Dalrymple Gallery at AU

The Eide/Dalrymple Gallery, located in Augustana's Center for Visual Arts (CVA), is the university's primary art display space — hosting an average of nine exhibits per year, including the Augustana Senior Art Show. The gallery also exhibits the work of professional artists who discuss their careers and art with students in master classes and the general public during opening receptions.

The Eide/Dalrymple Gallery is named after pioneering Augustana Art Professors Palmer Eide and Ogden Dalrymple. Many of their collaborative works are spread throughout campus.

The Carl Grupp Permanent Art Collection includes works of Picasso, Chagall, Warhol, Winslow Homer, Whistler, Matisse and Rouault, amongst many others. The collection is named for Professor Emeritus of Art Carl Grupp (1939-2019), a nationally acclaimed printmaker. Grupp founded the Eide/Dalrymple Gallery and was instrumental in developing and expanding Augustana’s prestigious print collection.

In this exhibition, Darrel Nelson offers an assemblage of objects intended to first arrest a viewer and then invite contemplation, almost as if for the first time. The miracle is that this can happen at all.
