    Public Tours

    Led by our incredible docents, public tours take visitors through the museum’s collection and special exhibitions. More of a guided conversation in the galleries than a traditional lecture, our interactive tours share surprising stories and fun facts and encourage visitors to form personal connections with the art on view and each other.

  • June 4-52 (tableform), 1952

    Ben Nicholson

    A series of roughly rectangular shapes of pale blue, green, yellow, and white layer over and under each other across the surface of this portrait-oriented oil painting. A loose geometric patterning in thin black pencil overlays some of the shapes near the bottom center. A small, bright red triangle pops out from near the bottom left corner.
  • Limit of the Twilight, 1991

    Roni Horn

    The phrase “49 MILES” in yellow block letters, tilted slightly as if set in italics, fills the polished aluminum surface of this sculpture facing the viewer. Additional stripes of yellow extend from where these numbers and letters touch the left and top edges of the sculpture’s front surface across its left and top surfaces. Overall, the sculpture takes the form of a rectangular cube whose depth and width are equal to one another and considerably smaller than its length. It is shown installed on the floor.
  • Le Bassin du Jas de Bouffan (The Pool at Jas de Bouffan), ca. 1878-1879

    Paul Cézanne

    Similarly short, distinct brushstrokes coalesce into the trees and shallow, walled pool that fill this landscape. A thin-trunked tree with light-dappled yellow-green foliage fills much of the left side of the canvas. Behind the tree, a low sandy colored wall contains a shallow, rectangular pool of water. Additional trees with darker green leaves line the right edge of the pool, extending to the upper edge of the canvas.
  • Soleil, tour, aéroplane (Sun, Tower, Airplane), 1913

    Robert Delaunay

    Softly delineated shapes in a rainbow of vivid colors cover the surface of this painting. Near the top right corner, a series of boxes reminiscent of the contours of an early biplane float above a tower of intersecting green lines that extends to the bottom of the canvas. At left, hazy segments of blue, green, red, yellow, and orange intersect with and blend into one another.
  • Man with Dog, 1953

    Francis Bacon

    A muscular white dog on a chain leash and the lower legs of its owner are visible beneath a dark blue trapezoid that fills the upper quarter of this vertically oriented canvas. The pair stand on sidewalk abutting a stretch of road perforated by a storm drain. The dog’s head and tail are lowered, and its front two legs extended as if caught in the moment springing forward. The artist’s palette of black, beige, and grey conveys a dark and tense atmosphere.
  • Piano Piece, 1993

    Nam June Paik

    At the heart of this sculpture are thirteen boxy television sets of different sizes stacked atop of an upright player piano. Some screens livestream the moving keys as recorded by a video camera on a tripod set up in front of the piano while others show prerecorded footage of hands playing a piano. A white stool and a small spotlight on a tripod illuminating the keyboard are also set up in front of the piano.
  • Paysans dans les champs, Éragny (Peasants in the Fields, Éragny), 1890

    Camille Pissarro

    A landscape of recently cleared fields and grass covered hills beneath a sunny blue sky filled with white clouds fills this horizontally oriented painting. In the bottom left foreground, a woman holding a basket in her right hand watches as a man thrusts a shovel into the ground. A horse-drawn wagon approaches in the distance, and a child sits in the field toward the right edge of the painting. The entire scene is rendered in individual dots of paint in deep blue, violet, green, orange, and other shades.
