COPYRIGHT RESTRICTED Larry Small

Larry Small stands in front of his string holders during the gallery opening on Oct. 2. Small said the string holders were the showstopper of his exhibit.

Decanters, including a rugby player, a golfer and a horse-riding huntsman, are displayed in Larry Small’s exhibit at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The decanters were made in the 1930s from porcelain.

Shelves in Larry Small’s Lincoln apartment hold items from his collection, including porcelain decanters, Catalin radios and a toy train. The open spots held items that were taken for his exhibition.

Julia Leggent, the director of the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery at UNL, stands in the gallery’s main walkway. Leggent sourced many of the gallery items from Small’s apartment after visiting him several times over the past year.

Small’s partner Natalie Hahn, said that he “knows what he wants. It’s like, yes or no. It’s never, ‘Well, I’ll think about this.’”

Larry Small watches as Julia Leggent, the gallery director, shows a jester marionette to her daughter at the gallery opening on Oct. 2.

Larry Small shines a light on a painting by Ukrainian artist Olena Mosiyevych that hangs in his bedroom. Small bought the light, which he keeps on his dresser, to show the less noticeable hues of Mosiyevych’s fine-line painting.

Motorcycle rider wind-ups are displayed in Larry Small’s collection at the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery on the UNL campus. The wind-ups were made in the 1950s out of tin.

Larry Small’s exhibit is open to the public through Nov. 6 as part of Lincoln Collects, a series showcasing notable art collectors in the Lincoln area.

Larry Small speaks to Robert Duncan, who collects art from across the world, at the opening of Small’s exhibit at the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery on the UNL campus.
