In 1980, the distinguished Chicago art collectors Mary and Leigh B. Block donated funds to Northwestern University for the construction of an art exhibition facility to be enjoyed by the Northwestern community and its visitors. While the original building resembled a Kunsthalle — a space devoted to temporary exhibitions — the Mary and Leigh Block Gallery, as it was first called, began collecting artworks soon after its doors opened, as the University transferred to the Block works of art that it had received over the years. The initial collection has grown through donations and purchases to approximately 4,000 works of art, primarily prints and photographs.
