Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • New York, N.Y., 1953

    Franz Kline

    An abstract arrangement of broad black brushstrokes appears against a mostly solid white background. One stroke extends from the top to bottom of the painting along its right edge and another two of similar length appear near the left edge. Other, shorter strokes extend horizontally and diagonally among these vertical elements. The black lines could resemble in outline the type of buildings and bridges that populate New York City’s skyline.
  • Composition No. 11, 1940-42--LONDON, with Blue, Red and Yellow, 1940-1942

    Piet Mondrian

    Composition No. 11, 1940-42--LONDON, with Blue, Red and Yellow
  • Painting No. 46, 1914-1915

    Marsden Hartley

    Diverse abstract patterns layer atop one another and a black background to fill much of this painting. Slightly below the center of the painting is a circle with a red center with white and black rings. Above this curves a red arc with two parallel, irregular white lines that spans nearly the entire width of the painting. Behind these elements are smaller sections of checked and ribbon-like patterns.
  • Still Life on a Mantelpiece, ca. 1923

    Georges Braque

    Still Life on a Mantelpiece
  • Die Knieende (Kneeling Woman), 1911

    Wilhelm Lehmbruck

    Die Knieende (Kneeling Woman)
  • Le Matin en Provence (Morning in Provence), ca. 1900-1906

    Paul Cézanne

    Similarly short, distinct brushstrokes primarily in cool shades of green and blue coalesce into a sketchily painted landscape; portions of the canvas are visible. A light green field fills much of the bottom third of the canvas, and the sky above, while largely blue, also includes some green areas. A slender, leafless tree rises from the left edge of the field and curves at its top toward the right and downward. A small, light brown house sits on the right edge of the field.
  • Monochrome I, Built to Live Anywhere, at Home Here, 2010-2011

    Nancy Rubins

    Monochrome I, Built to Live Anywhere, at Home Here
  • Abstraktes Bild (Abstract Painting), 1977

    Gerhard Richter

    Three light-colored abstract forms, resembling zoomed-in and blurry details of paint strokes, stand out against this painting’s dark brown and green background. One thin stripe extends the height of the canvas; it is white at top and gradually gradates to red at the bottom. A second, thicker stripe in gray topped with white extends from the center of the right edge and appears to overlap the vertical stripe. The end of a third stripe, similar in shape and color to the second stipe, appears in the upper-left
  • I Think So, 1938

    Yasuo Kuniyoshi

    This portrait features a Caucasian woman, nude to the waist, with shoulder-length brown hair and dark painted lips seen in three quarter view sitting on a chair. Her right arm rests on the top of the chair and is bent to bring her cigarette close to her head. A green-covered magazine is spread face-down across her lap. The pale figure is set in contrast with solid a rich salmon colored background.
