Pensacola Museum of Art

The Jerry Gilbreath Celebrity Art Collection showcases the work of twenty-four celebrities in their endeavors as visual artists. The collection includes work by individuals from a wide social and political spectrum including such noteworthy public figures as Senator Ted Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower; novelists Tennessee Williams and e.e. cummings; and musicians David Bowie and Donna Summer. Unlike most celebrity collectors who pursue memorabilia or autographs, Mississippi attorney and businessman Jerry Gilbreath has chosen to collect art created by famous people. This exhibition offers an opportunity for the Museum visitor to observe the work of celebrities other than that which made them famous and, illustrates contemporary society's fascination with their public and private lives.
