Master Prints of Eastern University’s Goebel Collection

Beginning on February 14 2026, Eastern University’s Merriman Art Gallery will host a historic art exhibition showcasing select masterpieces from Eastern’s own Goebel Graphic Art Collection. The collection of etchings, engravings, lithographs, and wood cuts include works by Rembrandt, Durer, Monet, Kollwitz, Cezanne, Chagall, Dali, Eichenberg, Whistler, Goya, Rockwell Kent, Degas, Michel Ciry, Eric Gill, and others. This exhibition represents the first time these pieces have been shown on campus. New York attorney Dr. Harry C. Goebel bequeathed the 1,300-piece collection to Eastern University in 1966 and frequently gave talks about the collection until his death in 1976. The exhibition will be open for viewing until May 15. A commemorative book about the collection will be made available free of charge to attendees of the opening reception.
