Collections

Allan Houser’s work is held in permanent collections and public installations at major institutions across the United States and internationally. Many of the most prominent placements, including works at the U.S. Capitol, major museums, and public sites worldwide, are pieces on loan from the Houser estate. The estate retains ownership of these works, a distinction that sets Allan Houser Inc. apart from secondary market operations. Allan Houser’s presence in institutional collections spans continents, with works held at the Smithsonian, Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the British Royal Collection, among others.
