Joan Davidow, a longtime supporter of the arts and The University of Texas at Dallas, has donated the Joan Davidow Art Collection in Memory of Seth Carlin Davidow to the Harry W. Bass Jr. School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology. Her son, Seth, was an art collector until his death in 2023 from ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. The collection includes more than 40 pieces of fine art and is on display in the Edith O’Donnell Arts and Technology Building. So I wanted to put art in the handsome building in which the Bass School is based, because art schools should have art on the walls. Seth eventually became a contemporary art collector himself.
