Artists in the Collection

The Carle holds work by more than 200 illustrators, 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. 

Our Collections team is a small group of hard-working, dedicated staff members who process more than 200 individual art objects a year! As a result, this list is only updated periodically. The current list reflects acquisitions approved by the Eric Carle Museum Board’s Collections Committee through April 2020.
