After living in Seattle from 1915 to 1929, she moved to New York and immersed herself in the world of art and artists. She learned the business side of art by working in a gallery. In 1942 she returned to Seattle. After years of privately building her own collection she opened a gallery in her Lakeview Place home in 1950. Showing modern artists through her contacts in New York and Europe, she also promoted Norjhwest painters, some of whom, including Mark Tobey, achieved world wide renown. Financial problems and displacement by a new freeway (her gallery moved to 532 Broadway East in 1959) made the last years of her professional life difficult. She retired in 1964 and died in Seattle in 1972. CONTENT Zoe Dusanne's interests, friends, and business revolved around the art world.

  • Carl Hall Gallery
    COLLECTION GUIDE Carl Hall Gallery Hallie Ford Museum ofArt1 2 On the Edge PACIFIC NORTHWEST ART FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COLLECTION at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art includes paintings, sculptures, and works on paper created by Oregon artists as well as modern and contemporary works from Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Northwest art has been central to the mission of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art since it was first envisioned in the early 1990s. A long tradition of art instruction at Willamette, beginning in the 1850s and continuing with today’s strong departments of art and art history, provides the context for making regional art one of the primary emphases of this university-linked museum. Selections from the Pacific Northwest collection are exhibited in the Carl Hall Gallery, named for the painter who came to Oregon for basic training during World War II and, following his service in the Pacific, returned to the state he referred to as “Eden again.” He taught painting, drawing, and printmaking at Willamette University for thirty-eight years, retiring in 1986. Although the permanent collection contains some nineteenth-century Oregon art, the Carl Hall Gallery presents Northwest art from the 1930s to the twenty-first century. The title of the installation, On the Edge: Pacific Northwest Art from the Permanent Collection, recognizes the edgy, avant-garde nature of these works within their respective periods—as well as the region’s location on the edge of the continent. The Pacific Northwest collection is made up of works purchased with the Maribeth Collins Art Acquisition Fund and also includes donations of individual works from artists as well as collectors, such as Dan and Nancy Schneider.

The contribution to support the gift totals nearly $14 million. TAM’s expanding collection further establishes the Pacific Northwest as the nation’s art glass epicenter. The new wing will be designed by award-winning architect Tom Kundig of Seattle-based Olson Kundig and is projected to open in fall 2018. It will house 5,700 square feet of gallery space, in addition to 1,690 square feet for public facilities and support functions.
