  • Triptych with Footprints, 1970

    Antoni Tàpies

    Three vertical cream-colored panels are joined to form a long thin horizontal work. A series of footprints stretches across all three panels, slightly above their centers. On the left panel, gray cloudlike forms float at top and bottom, and a grouping of letters and lines stretch diagonally from the upper left-hand toward the center. A series of lines and waves fill the bottom half of the right panel.
  • Relief over Black Space, 1958

    Antoni Tàpies

    The majority of this portrait-oriented canvas is an uninterrupted expanse of matte black. In the bottom third of the canvas, a mixed-media element in shallow relief extends from the left edge. This element appears to have a bumpy, ridged texture in places. There are roughly defined and thinly applied patches of dark yellow-brown paint that appear to overlay the relief element.

Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • L'Ambitieuse (Political Woman), 1883-1885

    James Tissot

    A woman in an elaborately ruffled pink dress with a large feathered fan enters an ornately decorated ballroom filled with party-goers on the arm of a much older gentleman. She looks left and outward beyond the viewer, while the attention of nearly all other male figures in the scene is directed at her. The textures of various surfaces and fabrics are painted with rich detail and texture, especially the pink dress ruffles gathered on a plush red ottoman at the bottom of the frame.
  • Parallel I-IV, 2012-2014

    Harun Farocki

    Five large digital screens hang from the ceiling of a darkened room. Two are hung side by side toward the left and rear of the room; two more are hung side by side toward the right and rear of the room; and a single screen hangs in the center foreground. All five screens feature imagery sourced from contemporary video games.

  • Divisibilité indéfinie (Indefinite Divisibility), 1942

    Yves Tanguy

    Two biomorphic forms sit side by side in the foreground of this abstract, dream-like landscape. The smaller form on the left includes a gray square with red sticks emerging from its left side. Narrow gray stalks support the blue and pink shapes that make up the taller form on the right, which casts a long shadow toward the top left corner of the painting. Nine small circular discs with white sides and blue surfaces appear scattered throughout the scene.
  • Santa Cruz Circle, 1997

    Richard Long

    A number of rectangular bricks of natural slate of varying dimensions are packed together to form a nearly perfect circle. In this image, you are looking down at the work as installed on a light colored parquet floor from a shallow angle.
  • 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.
  • La Jeune bonne (The Servant Girl), ca. 1918
