  • Synchromy in Orange: To Form, 1913-1914

    Morgan Russell

    A vibrant array of colorful geometric forms abut and overlap one another in the abstract kaleidoscopic patterning that covers this large, vertically oriented canvas. The colors range from red, blue, green, and orange, to pink, black, maroon, and white. A thin red painted line separates the bulk of the composition from a border of red, yellow, blue, and green rectangles alternating with white.
  • L'Objet invisible (Mains tenant le vide) [Invisible Object (Hands Holding the Void)], 1934 (cast executed 1935)

    Alberto Giacometti

    A life-sized bronze abstract female nude holds her hands placed in front of her chest, as if cradling an invisible sphere. She appears to be perched on a tall chair, which supports and frames the figure from behind. The facial features on her flat, round head are angular. Her long, skinny body terminates in long legs bent at the knee. The figure’s feet rest on a narrow rectangular shaped stool at the sculpture’s base.
  • Cinema, 1963

    George Segal

    Cinema
  • Alpha, 1960

    Morris Louis

    Stripes of orange, black, yellow, blue, and red stream from the left and right sides of this large, horizontally oriented abstract painting. The stripes are thickest near the top of the canvas and grow thinner as they reach the bottom. A large expanse of raw canvas yawns between these colored passages.
  • Untitled (Domestic), 2002

    Rachel Whiteread

    Untitled (Domestic)
  • Triptych with Footprints, 1970

    Antoni Tàpies

    Three vertical cream-colored panels are joined to form a long thin horizontal work. A series of footprints stretches across all three panels, slightly above their centers. On the left panel, gray cloudlike forms float at top and bottom, and a grouping of letters and lines stretch diagonally from the upper left-hand toward the center. A series of lines and waves fill the bottom half of the right panel.
