On Jan. 15, the Kogers announced plans to donate a collection of Asian ceramic art objects in an effort to establish an Asiatic art gallery at use. "It's a great honor for the university to be named the recipient of such a world-class art donation." said USC President James Holderman. The Asiatic art gallery will be a study of both the art and the industry of the Far East. "It's been our hope all along that something like that could happen," Koger said. "So we've allocated for a gift most of the Korean objects, some Japanese objects and Chinese pieces anc other things generally dealing with the Pacific nm. Some of the Koger's donated pieces include world-quality Korean objects of the S'cylla period (fifth and sixth century), Koryo Period I 11th and 12th century) and Yi Period (16th anc 17th century). Other pieces include Chinese and Japanese ceramics, including Annamese pieces dating as Former Vega ba By The Associated Press develop t NEW YORK ?

"I've visited Mr.Koger at his home in Savannah, Ga., and have seen some of the pieces in other museums around the country when the art has been on loan," George Terry, the system vice president for libraries and collections, said. "I'm ecstatic that we've been able to attract the Kogers and their pieces here at USC.

"Literally thousands of people flocked to see the show," Terry said. About 2,000 square feet will be renovated in McKissick to house the Koger's collection. "USC will acquire the pieces in the next 8 to 12 months. While we are acquiring these pieces the renovations on McKissick will be taking place," Terry said. Koger's collection has not been completley formulated yet, but he has several pieces and will continue to add more, according to Terry. "The Koeer's ceramic collection." Holder man said, "is unequalled by any of the university's current holdings, making it a tremendous asset to our permanent collections. "Mr.Koger said he pledged to make this collection the best in a university or college setting. When a man like Mr. Koger says that, you know it must be true." The Koger name is familiar to not only the students of USC, but to all South Carolina residents as well. The Koger Center for the Arts would not have been made possible if it wasn't for the Koger's $4 million donation. The Kogers not only collect ancient Oriental art, but also English cermamics, American and French 19th century antiques and furniture and American impressionist paintings. s into her own ng on my yin went t0 work.
