  • Only God Knows I'm Good, 2009 (produced 2011)

    Tracey Emin

    The phrase “Only God Knows I’m Good” in cursive English script is fabricated in snow white neon, which is mounted on a wall.
  • Janet, 1992

    Chuck Close

    This large-scale portrait is painted in grayscale with a nearly all black background. A grid pattern covers the entire surface, and diamonds, ovals, circles, and other geometric shapes fill each square. From a distance, these patterned coalesce into a woman’s face and upper shoulders; the effect is similar to a pixelated photograph. The woman has short hair, cat-eyed glasses, dangly earrings, and she wears a shirt with a rounded collar.

  • 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.
  • Sculpture classique (Classical Sculpture), 1964

    Jean (Hans) Arp

    The gently curving contours of this white marble sculpture suggest a head, shoulders, and hips. The slim vertical form stands on top of and is contiguous with a cylindrical base.
