Talk:List of works by Sam Gilliam

Public collections without databases
There are quite a few public collections without databases that own work by Gilliam. Published catalogues from HBCU museums in particular, as well as regional museums, would be great sources to find more. 19h00s (talk) 00:18, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Semi-related: I began work on this article in my sandbox several months ago, before the late December cyberattack on Gallery Systems, the main provider of the eMuseum service that many institutions use to show their collections online. Several of the links included as citations here are now broken; I try to archive most of what I cite for this very reason, but there are quite a few places where I forgot and/or the site wouldn't archive properly with Internet Archive. Will be looking through to find what's missing and updating the url-status as I find them. 19h00s (talk) 18:00, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Works that need categorization and/or additional details before inclusion
Using this space to drop in additional works I find listed publicly that can't be included yet because they need more info (date, medium, etc.), or because there are questions about categorization. 19h00s (talk) 19:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Need Additional Info
 * This seems to be a maquette for the work referenced in this New York Times review from 1979; can't find any detail on the underlying work apart from the reference in the review.
 * Untitled (1979); Wooden hexagon with chicken wire and cast paper; Diameter: 11 in (27.94 cm), depth: 7 in (17.78 cm); Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Madison, Wisconsin
 * A series of works displayed in US Embassies but not permanently acquired by the State Dept.; these works all need dates in order to be included in the article.
 * Individual pieces displayed in Bujumbura in 2017; in Nicosia in 2002; and in Yaounde in 2005.
 * A work displayed in Pittsburgh (in the Oakland neighborhood, not Oakland, CA) in 1971 titled Sticks; no date or medium listed, only a title
 * Referenced and photographed in The Pittsburgh Press, 1971.
