Collection Highlights

  • Manaò tupapaú (Spirit of the Dead Watching), 1892

    Paul Gauguin

    Manaò tupapaú (Spirit of the Dead Watching)
  • Boys cutting through a hedge, 2003

    Jeff Wall

    Just left of this image’s center, the small figures of two young men emerge from a gap in the largely dead hedge with patches of ivy growing around a chain-link fence that spans across the center of this image beneath an ominously clouded sky. The neatly trimmed grass, sunken headstones, and flower arrangements in the foreground suggest that these men are entering a cemetery.
  • L'Homme au hamac (Man in a Hammock), 1913

    Albert Gleizes

    L'Homme au hamac (Man in a Hammock)
  • Untitled, 1997

  • Two-Tone, 1975

    Susan Rothenberg

    Two-Tone
  • Electric, 1963

    Edward Ruscha

    The word “electric” in all capital, italicized letters spans across the center of this almost square canvas. The letters are painted in a gradient from bright yellow at the top to rich orange at the bottom, standing out in stark contrast against the solid deep blue background.
  • Frauenbildnis (Portrait of a Woman), 1911

    Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

    A black woman in a blue hat and coat of matching color over a brown skirt and white, high-necked blouse stands at the center of this painting. She appears to be standing up from a red-back chair, her left arm extended against an almost neon green form in the background. The bottom portion of a painting depicting nude figures in a landscape is visible behind her head, and the corner of a table covered with a light blue tablecloth fills the bottom right corner of the canvas.
  • Drift 2, 1966

    Bridget Riley

    Drift No. 2
  • 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.
