From the Yale Class of ’56:“For John and Jane Fitz Gibbon, art has always been about friendship, love, humor, storytelling, and the western ethos. Their collection offers a survey of California art post 1950 and is remarkable both because of the consistently high quality of the art and because its formation represents friendships between the Fitz Gibbons and the artists who created the work,” according to Scott Shields, Curator of Art at the Crocker.
