Acquisition Information:

Donated by the Gates Estate in 2013. Allen taught music at Clark College and Yoko played the koto professionally. They moved from Vancouver in the early 80s. Before Yoko died at age 44 in 1988 and Allen in 1990 at the age of 47, the couple decided to loan their collection to Clark College. They were confident that the college would appreciate the art and it would be safe and loved.

Their daughter Joemy formally donated a large portion of the loaned artworks to Clark College in 2013.

“Clark was the first place my father thought of. He knew the college would display the art and take care of it. It was a natural fit to have the art at Clark College,” said Joemy.
