Fairgrounds on the left. Dr. Reginald R. Gold assembled his collection meticulously over a period of 50 years, and has decided to deaccession his “Personal Museum”. Dr. Gold’s keen eye for beauty is revealed in his commitment to and patronage of the world of art. His life has been rich and his accomplishments many. Now, he feels it is time to pass along his stewardship to others equally passionate about art. The scope of his astonishing collection is world wide, but the focus is Southwestern United States and American as well as European Works centered around 19th & 20th C. Impressionism.
