July 7, 2011
Clarksville, TN – In 2009, Dover resident Jim Robertson made an unprecedented phone call to Austin Peay State University. He wanted to know if the University’s art department was interested in taking his extensive collection of celebrated photography prints off his hands.
The prints included valuable pieces by such 20th century photography icons as André Kertész and Ruth Bernhard.
The donation, aside from stunning the APSU art faculty, gave the University one of the most impressive photography collections in the region.
