Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Head - Red and Yellow, 1962

    Roy Lichtenstein

    A woman’s head and neck, cleanly outlined like a classic comic book illustration, fills the majority of this large square canvas. This figure is painted in bright red and white against a solid yellow background. The woman looks toward the right and her large mouth is opened in a laugh. Shoulder length, loosely curled hair frames her face. Her skin is covered with a field of miniscule red dots in emulation of halftone printing.
  • Women of Tehuantepec, 1939

    Rufino Tamayo

    Two solemn-looking women, one carrying a basket of fruit on her head, stand in center of this colorful, horizontally oriented canvas. Behind them and to the left are three large containers filled with tropical fruit, some of which is also scattered on the ground. Behind them and to the right are two more women walking toward a long, low building in the background. A young boy in the right corner extends with his left hand a bunch of flowers toward the two central women.
  • 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.
  • Untitled, 1986

    Olivier Mosset

    This large, horizontally oriented abstract painting is visually divided into two square portions. On the left, alternating red and purple stripes of the same width span the height of the canvas. On the right, stripes of the same color and size run horizontally from the right edge to the painting’s overall center. The lines formed by the stripes are very straight and even.
  • Femme retroussant sa chemise (Woman Lifting Her Chemise), 1901

    Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

    Femme retroussant sa chemise (Woman Lifting Her Chemise)
  • Elegy to the Spanish Republic XXXIV, 1953-1954

    Robert Motherwell

    Elegy to the Spanish Republic XXXIV
  • 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.
  • Figure triste (Sad Figure), 1912

    Francis Picabia

    Figure triste (Sad Figure)
  • 100 Cans, 1962

    Andy Warhol

    The front-facing, red, gold, and white labels of one hundred cans of Campbell’s Condensed Beef Noodle Soup fill this vertically oriented canvas. The cans are organized in a tight grid of ten rows and ten columns. The bottoms of the last row of cans are cut off so that only the upper halves of these cans are visible.
