Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Milkweed, 1955

    Lee Krasner

    This vertically oriented canvas seems to contain three layers. Softly defined rectangles in shades of mottled green, white, and cream form the background. Six large, amorphous black shapes with ragged edges rest on top. Finally, three cream-colored slivers extend vertically from the base of painting on its right side. Near the top and to the left of these forms, three small orange shapes peep out from background.
  • Le Panthéon et Saint-Étienne-du-Mont (The Pantheon and Saint-Étienne-du-Mont), ca. 1903-1906

    Raoul Dufy

    A large building topped by a dome held aloft by classical pillars dominates this brightly lit city scene. The building extends from the right edge of the canvas. On the left, a clear blue skills fills the area above a church with a large bell tower and a section of yellow cobblestones partially filled by a number of pedestrians.
  • The Street, Fifth Avenue, 1900-1901 (printed 1903-1904)

    Alfred Stieglitz

    The Street, Fifth Avenue
  • Year of Meteors, 1961

    Robert Indiana

    At the center of the painting is a blue, eight-pointed star against a green background within two concentric circles of stenciled, all-capitalized text on white. The circle within the smaller of these rings is green, and the background visible outside the larger of these rings is blue. The text in the smaller of these rings is blue and the text in the larger of these rings is green.
  • Danseuse au café (Dancer in a Café), 1912

    Jean Metzinger

    Danseuse au café (Dancer in a Café)
  • Figure triste (Sad Figure), 1912

    Francis Picabia

    Figure triste (Sad Figure)
  • Petit nu bleu (Little Blue Nude), ca. 1878-1879

    Pierre-Auguste Renoir

    A young white-skinned woman, nude to the waist, sits on the grassy bank of a body of water in the center of this vertically oriented painting. A blue cloth or portion of a garment with white edges loosely covers her lap. She grasps her left ankle, which rests on her right knee, with both hands, and she gazes toward the bottom left of the canvas. The paint was applied quickly and loosely with visible brushstrokes.
  • Civil Tapestry 5, 2012

    Theaster Gates

    This large-scale wall-mounted sculpture features forty-one sections of fire hose of equal size laid vertically side-by-side. From left to right, the sections of fire hose progressively appear more worn. The dominant color of the fabric gradually transitions from yellow to tones of gray. Some sections of the fire hose are stamped with black letters spelling out the original manufacturer specifications.
  • Venetian Bead Stringers, 1880 or 1882

    John Singer Sargent

    A standing woman approaches two seated women stringing beads over a shallow wooden bowl in the center right of this painting, which is set in a large, mostly empty room. An open doorway and windows at the back of the room provide limited light. At right, a bench is positioned against a wall. The two seated women wear dark dresses while their standing companion wears a white dress mostly covered with a dark shawl.
