    Martin Puryear

    Untitled
  • Synecdoche, 2008

    Byron Kim

    Thirty-six, portrait-oriented rectangles in monochromatic shades ranging from cool peach to warm caramel to dark brown are arranged randomly in a in a six-by-six grid.
  • Soft Manhattan #1 (Postal Zones), 1966

    Claes Oldenburg

    The overall shape of this wall-mounted sculpture is similar to the outline of the island of Manhattan as it might appear on a map. The sculpture is made up of roughly thirty-five beige, tan, brown, and gray bags stacked together. These bags are shaped and positioned to mirror the outlines of the city’s postal zones.
  • Étude pour "Le Chahut" (Study for "Le Chahut"), 1889

    Georges Seurat

    Étude pour "Le Chahut" (Study for "Le Chahut")
  • Cremaster Suite, 1994-2002

    Matthew Barney

    Cremaster Suite
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Maisons à l'Île d'Ouessant, Bretagne (Houses on the Island of Ouessant, Brittany), 1912

    Maurice Utrillo

    Two small roughly defined figures stand in an opening framed by a low wall and several stark houses. The houses, wall, ground, and sky are painted in a limited range of grayish creams and browns. Muted pops of color come in the form of pinkish roofs on several of the homes and green shutters on the home closest to the foreground, which is shown in three-quarter view and fills much of the left side of the painting.
