Exploring Oklahoma's Collector Scene
Oklahoma has a distinctive art collecting culture shaped by its Native American heritage, the state is home to 39 federally recognized tribes, and the wealth generated by the oil and gas industry. The Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa holds significant collections of American paintings, Native American art, and Italian Renaissance works in a former villa, while the Gilcrease Museum holds one of the largest and most important collections of American Western art and Native American cultural materials in the world. The Oklahoma City Museum of Art holds significant holdings of American and European art and a fine Chihuly Collection.
Estate collections in Oklahoma frequently include Western American paintings and bronzes, Native American art from numerous tribal traditions, significant art collections, taxidermy, firearm collections, antique furniture including fine primitive pieces, and other unique collectibles, assembled by oil industry fortunes in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Artists including Allan Houser, Charles Banks Wilson and Acee Blue Eagle appear in Oklahoma estate inventories alongside nationally recognized Western American painters. The Indian Arts and Crafts Act and tribal cultural property laws must be carefully considered when appraising Native American works. Formal USPAP-compliant appraisals are regularly required for such property for estate tax, charitable donation, insurance, equitable distribution, and other purposes.
