The USD Art Galleries is proud to lead a groundbreaking project: the creation of a catalogue raisonné documenting the complete works of Oscar Howe, a celebrated artist and professor whose art celebrates the beauty, spirituality and vibrant energy of his Native American culture.
The University of South Dakota Art Galleries has assembled a team of scholars, researchers and assistants to establish a catalogue raisonné — the complete works of Oscar Howe, artist-in-residence and professor of art at USD.
“I am pleased and honored to assist the University of South Dakota and its select team of curators, artists and art historians in this massive project that compiles and publishes a comprehensive volume detailing the many unique works of my father,” said Inge Dawn Howe Maresh, Howe’s daughter.
This project honors his work and legacy. The full catalogue will be digitally accessible by December 2026. The USD Art Galleries is excited to enter the second phase of the Howe database project, connecting with private collectors who are a vital part of Howe’s legacy and the preservation of his artwork.
The gallery asks that all private collectors please contact them at uag@usd.edu to update their information within the Howe database. All information remains confidential if requested by the collector.
