The Permanent Collection exhibition, MOCA 8, will showcase the University Art Museum's first edition prints of the famed portfolio "Eight by Eight to Celebrate The Temporary Contemporary", gifted to the museum as part of the Gordon F. Hampton collection. Mr. Hampton was a veteran trustee of the Museum of Contemporary Art and it was through the Gordon Hampton Foundation and his family, that his portfolio was gifted to the University Art Museum. The UAM will also have recent gifts on display from The Andy Warhol Foundation and The Sam Francis Foundation, two artists who contributed to the "Eight by Eight" portfolio.
