Beachcombers painting by Arthur Runquist The Saward Collection of 80-plus art pieces documents the outstanding artistic expression and growth that occurred in Oregon during the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. The collection's primary curator was Virginia Saward, the wife of the founding medical director of Kaiser Permanente's Northwest region, Dr. Ernest Saward. Her purpose in gathering the collection was to provide art for display at Kaiser Permanente medical offices. The Saward Collection is one of the premier corporate collections of Oregon art from this period. Most of the pieces are displayed at the Center for Health Research in North Portland, with other pieces displayed throughout Kaiser Permanente's Northwest region.
