The Tate Lindahl Collection
The Western Illinois University Art Gallery will honor the late Tate Lindahl with an exhibition of the Tate Lindahl Collection. The Tate Lindahl Collection will be on display August 29 through October 13, 2022. A reception will be held Thursday, September 1 from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. Lindahl came to Western in 1967 as part of a team charged with design and implementation of computer use for administrative purposes, as well as for research and instruction. During his 23 years in academic computing at WIU, Lindahl authored three textbooks and co-authored a fourth on computer programming, and was instrumental in the evolution of computer use by faculty and students. He retired in 1990. Lindahl and his wife, Sharon, have been avid supporters of the performing arts and other initiatives at WIU, and in 2011, the Lindahls arranged for a bequest in Tate's estate plans to assist in the maintenance of the Center for Performing Arts on the Macomb campus. A longtime supporter of the arts at Western, Lindahl began his tradition of generosity by giving artwork to the University in the early 1980s. Five Rembrandt prints were gifts from Lindahl. He has also contributed works by Georges Rouault, Gatja Rothe, and Francisco Goya. This Exhibition will feature those works donated to the University as well as works from his private collection. Admission is free and open to the public.
