Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • La Source de la Loue (The Source of the Loue), ca. 1864

    Gustave Courbet

    The dark mouth of a cave fills the center of this image. It is framed in the upper portion of the canvas by an arch of highly textured rocks in shades of light brown flecked with touches of cool red, pink, and blue. Dark water that becomes white foam as it flows over boulders at the bottom edge of the painting flows forth from the cave entrance.
  • The Cone, 1960

    Alexander Calder

    A large playful sculpture made of thin sheets of black metal forming a partially open cone that stands on its circular base. A thin metal rod is balanced across the cone’s pointed top. Numerous interconnected wires and rods, each of which ends in a small white metal circle, hang from one side of the rod. The weight of the many wires and circles on one side of the central rod is counterbalanced and held in equilibrium by a single red circle on the rod’s other end.
  • Path, 2012-2013

    Andy Goldsworthy

    One of five images. This vertically oriented photograph shows a landscape with patches of lush green grass separated by a graveled walking path stretching into the distance and toward a cluster of trees. A slightly darker brown wave pattern zigs and zags across the width of the pathway, running along its full length.
  • Light Matrix, 2005

    Leo Villareal

    Small white dots of varying brightness speckle a wall of ten panels of dark-colored glass as seen from the outside. These dots seem to fit into a matrix of horizontal and vertical rows but without a discernable pattern. This wall of windows only fills the bottom half of the image, and a sky filled with ominously dark clouds is visible above.
  • New York Waterfront, 1938

    Stuart Davis

    Abstract shapes filled with solid areas of red, blue, white, and black paint float in a loosely linked cluster in the middle of this small beige canvas. Many of the shapes loosely resemble buildings, including a red structure with blue windows and tall black smokestacks at center, which sits beneath a white rectangle featuring the letters L and R in blue. A white shape with red edges at bottom resembles at boat while a patch of blue at bottom left may suggest water.
  • La Toilette, 1906

    Pablo Picasso

    La toilette
  • The Liver Is the Cock's Comb, 1944

    Arshile Gorky

    Abstract shapes loosely resembling animal or human body parts populate this abstract landscape. These forms, painted in many different hues of red, yellow, blue, orange, white, and green, boldly stand against a background in more neutral shades of brown and gray-blue. Thin black lines delineate some of the forms, while others are boundless fields of color.
  • Mademoiselle Pogany II, 1920

    Constantin Brancusi

    Mademoiselle Pogany II
  • Le Christ jaune (The Yellow Christ), 1889

    Paul Gauguin
