Playing Favorites: Spotlight on the Petullo Collection

Ten years ago, the Milwaukee Art Museum became a leading institution in North America for American and European self-taught art. With Playing Favorites, we celebrate the large gift from the local collector Anthony Petullo that catapulted the Museum to this distinctive position. This special installation features more than 20 drawings and paintings by self-taught artists such as Minnie Evans, Martín Ramírez, Alfred Wallis, and Adolf Wölfli, including some of Petullo’s favorite works from his 2012 gift and others he is lending from his personal collection.
