The
University of Oregon Museum of Art is the single largest repository of art
works and related archival materials on David McCosh. This important collection
contains almost two thousand paintings, watercolors, drawings, and sketches
that are presently available for research. Additional archival materials
include the artist’s correspondence and other papers, a series of
sketchbooks dated between 1927 and 1979, and slides taken by the artist
during travel overseas, as well as to Mexico and other locations in the
Northwest. Materials also include a collection of audiotape oral histories
conducted with friends and former students of the artist. There is one audiotape
interview with the artist conducted in 1977. A database compiled of information
on all paintings, drawings, and sketches is available to assist in research
efforts. The collection was made possible through a donation by the artist’s
wife, Anne Kutka McCosh, in 1988 to the University of Oregon Museum of Art
and the University of Oregon Foundation.
