Artists in the Collection

The Carle holds work representing more than 300 artists, including Eric Carle’s original picture book art. The art in our permanent collection dates from the late 19th century to the present. We are grateful to the many artists, collectors, and families who have entrusted their art to our care so it may be preserved for future generations to learn from and enjoy. 

Because our collection is comprised primarily of fragile works on paper, the majority of the artwork is not currently on view in the galleries. We invite you to explore our Collection Highlights and Featured Artists pages to delight in select artwork as we work to digitize our holdings. 

This list is updated periodically. It includes artwork accepted by our Collections Committee through the spring of 2025.
