  • Born, 2002

    Kiki Smith

    A life-sized nude female figure emerges head-first from the rear of a standing deer. Only her feet remain inside the animal, and the rest of her body is angled toward the floor, with her left shoulder making contact. She cranes her neck slightly to gaze back toward the deer, who has large ears and small antler nubs. The bronze surface of the sculpture is smooth and has a dark uniform patina, making it appear black.
  • Karma, 2010

    Do Ho Suh

    Against the white marbled columned exterior of the museum, a life-size muscular male nude, his arms hanging down on either side of his body, stands upright on a metal base. Sitting on his shoulders are a series of identical male nudes squatting one on top of the another, each one smaller than the one below. Each figure holds his hands over the eyes of the figure beneath him.
  • Untitled, 1998-2002

    Gregory Crewdson

    This large-scale color photograph captures a mysterious scene staged in a domestic bathroom, which is presented in cross-section. In the center of the frame, a white man, wearing only briefs, is bent over on the floor of a shower stall. His right arm reaches through the drain and is visible in the dark crawlspace below floor level where a pipe would normally be connected. The dim light filtering through a small window on the left evokes a sense of twilight.
  • George Went Swimming at Barnes Hole, but It Got Too Cold, 1957

    Joan Mitchell

    Large, energetic brushstrokes in green, brown, black, red, blue, and white cover portions of this abstract painting’s white background. These marks are primarily concentrated in two areas: in the top half of the canvas, especially in the center, and on its lower edge, especially in the center and toward the right corner.
  • Kitty Hawk, 1983

    Richard Serra

    Kitty Hawk
  • Dialogue I, 1960

    Adolph Gottlieb

    A rectangular white canvas sits horizontally. In the top-right corner, there is a large black circle; a large red circle of roughly equal size is adjacent to the black dot, toward the center of the canvas. Beneath these dots are energetic and erratic swirls of black paint with splatter and drips on their edges.
  • La Maison de La Crau (The Old Mill), 1888

    Vincent van Gogh

    Loose thick brushstrokes in a vibrant palette define a rural scene beneath a turquoise green sky. On the right is a tall sandy colored building with a yellow roof and brownish-red chimney. Steps leads from the structure toward the left-hand side of the image, where, two people stand in front of a purple fence. Beyond the fence and toward the upper left of the image are green fields dotted with small houses and blue mountains in the far distance.
  • Dinamismo di un cane al guinzaglio (Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash), 1912

    Giacomo Balla

  • Elegy to the Spanish Republic XXXIV, 1953-1954
