  • Reclining Figure with Pink Rocks, 1942

    Henry Moore

    Reclining Figure with Pink Rocks
  • Reclining Figure, 1935-1936

    Henry Moore

    This wooden sculpture could abstractly resemble a reclining female body. The dark brown wood is polished to reveal the wood grain and knots throughout the form. The figure’s legs seem to be gently bent, and she appears to be resting on her elbows, with her head propped upright. The artist left the torso as an empty space, allowing viewers to see through the sculpture.

Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Light Matrix, 2005

    Leo Villareal

    Small white dots of varying brightness speckle a wall of ten panels of dark-colored glass as seen from the outside. These dots seem to fit into a matrix of horizontal and vertical rows but without a discernable pattern. This wall of windows only fills the bottom half of the image, and a sky filled with ominously dark clouds is visible above.
  • No title, 1970

    Eva Hesse

    [no title]
  • New York, N.Y., 1953

    Franz Kline

    An abstract arrangement of broad black brushstrokes appears against a mostly solid white background. One stroke extends from the top to bottom of the painting along its right edge and another two of similar length appear near the left edge. Other, shorter strokes extend horizontally and diagonally among these vertical elements. The black lines could resemble in outline the type of buildings and bridges that populate New York City’s skyline.
  • Le Feu d'artifice (Fireworks), 1887

    James Ensor

    Le Feu d'artifice (Fireworks)
  • Hotel Lobby, 1950

    Max Beckmann

    More than a dozen figures crowd this canvas. Four appear to be seated around a table in the center and the rest appear to be standing elsewhere in the room. The figures’ features are abstracted, exaggerated, and outlined with thick black lines filled with a range of shades of muted russet, turquoise, pink, and green. The black frame of what appears to be a French door interrupts the right third of the composition.
  • The Tree, 1965

    Agnes Martin

    On a square white canvas, artist Agnes Martin drew by hand a dense grid using graphite pencil. When seen up close, minor irregularities in the grid, including the straightness of the lines and spacing between them, are visible. From a distance, the faint lines of the grid appear to blend into the white canvas.
  • Man with Dog, 1953

    Francis Bacon

    A muscular white dog on a chain leash and the lower legs of its owner are visible beneath a dark blue trapezoid that fills the upper quarter of this vertically oriented canvas. The pair stand on sidewalk abutting a stretch of road perforated by a storm drain. The dog’s head and tail are lowered, and its front two legs extended as if caught in the moment springing forward. The artist’s palette of black, beige, and grey conveys a dark and tense atmosphere.
  • Limit of the Twilight, 1991

    Roni Horn

    The phrase “49 MILES” in yellow block letters, tilted slightly as if set in italics, fills the polished aluminum surface of this sculpture facing the viewer. Additional stripes of yellow extend from where these numbers and letters touch the left and top edges of the sculpture’s front surface across its left and top surfaces. Overall, the sculpture takes the form of a rectangular cube whose depth and width are equal to one another and considerably smaller than its length. It is shown installed on the floor.
  • 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.
