The Schnitzer Collection has a retrospective of the Fountain Gallery at the Oregon Historical Society.
While the Museum and Museum Art School were strong contemporary forces, the Fountain Gallery, 1961-1986 was arguably the first contemporary gallery in Portland. The Fountain Gallery stable was continued by Laura Russo, 1943-2010, who worked at the Fountain, and her gallery, now Russo-Lee. Curator Bruce Guenther, a strong contemporary curator for the Portland Art Museum, worked at the Fountain.
You can see a time capsule of an era in art in this show with parallels to the Portland Art Museum collection of works.
