American Abstract Artists: Works from the Permanent Collection was one of three special exhibitions of works from the museum's collection that complemented Order and Enigma: American Art Between the Two Wars.

In celebration of Black History Month, Jacob Lawrence: The Harriet Tubman Series presented a series of 31 poignant paintings depicting events in the life of ex-slave and Underground Railroad guide Harriet Tubman.

Order and Enigma: American Art Between the Two Wars, an exhibition of paintings, sculpture, drawings, and prints executed between 1917 and 1941, explored the emergence of American art between World War I and World War II.

Milton Rogovin: The Forgotten Ones, the artist’s first major retrospective, celebrated Rogovin’s seventy-fifth birthday and paid tribute to his significant contributions to photography.

The Expendable Ikon: Works by John McHale consisted of a selection of 26 collages and a large construction based on the artist’s maquette and built especially for the exhibition.

Mario Merz was the seventh in a continuing series of cooperative projects organized by the Albright-Knox with HALLWALLS and CEPA Gallery. Recent paintings and constructions—replete with colossal primitive beats and turgid plant forms—were the focus of the exhibition.

This exhibition was the first major survey of Joe Zucker’s work. Incorporating recognizable imagery, Zucker produced brightly colored works that are rich in meaning and visual texture.

Featuring more than 60 works, this exhibition was the first major retrospective of the artist's work in the United States.

Since the mid-1950s, artist and arts educator John Baldessari (American, born 1931) has fused photography, montage, painting, and text to create complex visual poems that explore the multifaceted interpretations of cultural iconography.

Nancy Graves: A Survey 1969/1980 was the first retrospective of the artist's work to be presented in an American museum. It included all aspects of Graves' oeuvre during the preceding 11 years, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures.

Featuring more than two hundred works created over the course of eight decades, including paintings, works on paper, and numerous decorative arts projects, this was the largest survey assembled of Delaunay's work to date.
