Description from the Elvehjem bulletin/biennial report 2001–2003: "The architectural firm Marshall Erdman & Associates has had a close connection with the visual arts in Madison by contributing to the architectural landscape, by supporting the arts, and by collecting the work of local, regional, and national artists. The Erdman corporate collection on display consists of contemporary works on paper by artists such as Chuck Close, Lesley Dill, Helen Frankenthaler, Frances Myers, Andy Warhol, and John Wilde."
