CARL GRUPP’S LEGACY Enjoy highlights from the Carl Grupp Permanent Collection through March 19 in the Eide/Dalrymple Gallery on the Augustana University campus in Sioux Falls. The exhibit features art in the Grupp Collection by faculty emeriti and instructors. Carl Grupp taught art with a passion at Augustana from 1969 until 2004, inspiring numerous artists. He was also one of our state’s pre-eminent artists, participating in over 100 regional, national and international art exhibits since 1961. Grupp studied painting and printmaking at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1964, before traveling through Europe to tour art in the Netherlands, Italy, France and Germa-
ny. He returned to Amsterdam to work on his own art at the Vrije Academy in The Hague. During his career at Augustanta, Grupp founded the Eide/Dalrymple Gallery and began adding to its permanent collection which includes works by Picasso, Whistler, Matisse, Chagall, Winslow Homer and Rouault. Grupp passed away in Sioux Falls in May of 2019. He was the 2005 recipient of the Governor’s Awards in the Arts for Creative Achievement, and has two watercolors on permanent display under the South Dakota Arts Council program Art for State Buildings (currently installed in the Kneip Building/Department of Social Services).
