painting or print back in his studio. His early base in architecture made buildings a focal
point of much of his work.
A prominent member of the art community in Taos and New Mexico after 1960, Reed’s
work has been exhibited in somewhere close to 350 juried shows, and he has won over
100 national and international awards for art. His subject matter consists mainly of
southwest geography and the female form. He expressed that he felt that landscape is
“most sympathetic to creative work” (from preface). The Gardiner Art Gallery on the
Oklahoma State University campus started its permanent collection with prints by Reed,
the department’s founder. Doel Reed passed away in 1985, but his work continues to be
shown and sold especially in the southwest where he made his home. Reed has work in
the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, France the Victoria and Albert, London, England the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia
the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts the Fine
Arts Museum, Santa Fe, New Mexico the Philbrook Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma the
