U-M School of Social Work houses world-class art collection featuring Haring, Arbus, and more

It’s worth noting just how unusual this all is. The School of Social Work is unique as a U-M department that houses an art collection under its own auspices, rather than through a university-owned museum. Even aside from the most recognizable artists, the Social Work collection includes not only paintings, prints, and photographs, but quilts, conceptual pieces, and sculptures, some of them quite large.
