Other Works by This Artist

  • L'Objet invisible (Mains tenant le vide) [Invisible Object (Hands Holding the Void)], 1934 (cast executed 1935)

    Alberto Giacometti

    A life-sized bronze abstract female nude holds her hands placed in front of her chest, as if cradling an invisible sphere. She appears to be perched on a tall chair, which supports and frames the figure from behind. The facial features on her flat, round head are angular. Her long, skinny body terminates in long legs bent at the knee. The figure’s feet rest on a narrow rectangular shaped stool at the sculpture’s base.

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.
  • Elinor, Jean and Anna, 1920

    George Wesley Bellows

    Elinor, Jean and Anna
  • L'Age d'Airain (Age of Bronze), 1875-1876 (cast executed 1911)

    Auguste Rodin

    This life-sized, muscular nude is captured as if in mid-stride, with his right hand raised to clasp his scalp and his left hand raised in a fist. His mouth is open, and his facial features contorted in what appears to be pain or anger.
  • 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.
  • Sentinel, 1978

    Anne Truitt

    The body of this tall, thin, rectangular wooden pillar is almost entirely white. Light gray stripes run along the length of each of its four corners, and the base of the sculpture is marked with a thin black band with a thin red line running through its center. The work sits directly on the floor.
  • Other Faces, 2011
