Joe is now part of the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum, according to Artnet.
Collectors Janice and Mickey Cartin have given the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, Conn., a group of 104 photographs ranging in date from 1949 to 1983 by 12 contemporary artists: Roger Ballen, Zarina Bhimji, Edward Burtynsky, Frank Breuer, Lucinda Devlin, Olafur Eliasson, Esko Männikkö, Arnold Odermatt, Lorraine OGrady, Joe Ovelman, Collier Schorr and Chris Verene. A selection of the acquisition goes on view at the museum in "Old Masters/New Directions: A Decade of Collecting," Aug. 6-Dec. 18, 2005.

Updated: James pointed out that the range 1949-1983 doesn't make much sense when we're talking about the work of Joe Ovelman (or Collier Schorr and Chris Verene).
