Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • 1957-D-No. 1, 1957

    Clyfford Still

    Yellow, jagged-edged forms tear through portions of this mostly matte black canvas. The largest of these forms runs the full height of the painting near its right edge. Each of the yellow streaks includes small areas of white, which most appear in the center of the form, flanked by larger areas of yellow. Three small patches of unpainted canvas are visible near the bottom-left corner.
  • Wall Drawing # 1268: Scribbles: Staircase (AKAG), conceived 2006 (executed 2010)

    Sol LeWitt

  • Vega-Nor, 1969

    Victor Vasarely

    A brightly colored grid stands out in sharp contrast against the dark blue and green background of this large-scale square painting. At the center of the work, the artist distorted the grid to create the optical illusion of a large spherical shape bulging out of this flat surface.
  • La Musique, 1939

    Henri Matisse

    Two women look out toward the viewer from this brightly colored painting. The artist depicted these women using simple, flat shapes with dark outlines. The woman in a caramel colored dress at left sits on a floor cushion next to sheet music. The woman at right wears a marine blue jumpsuit with yellow triangles at the bottom of the legs. She has one foot on the floor and one on the couch on which she sits while playing guitar. A red tile floor contrasts with a black wall decorated with large green leaves.
  • Elegy to the Spanish Republic XXXIV, 1953-1954

    Robert Motherwell

  • Ocean Park No. 66, 1973

  • Untitled (The Buffalo Installation), 1991

    Jenny Holzer

  • Bucolic Landscape, 1945

    Milton Avery

    A bright yellow cow, seen from the rear, sits in a grassy field on the left side of this horizontally oriented canvas. On the right, a reddish path leads into a dense woodland, and above the cow on the left, a narrow rectangle of pink sky emerges behind rolling green hills. Short red flowers are visible in the foreground, and a single, scraggly tree juts out of the ground in the upper-left corner. The colors are soft and bright, suggesting a warm, sunny day.
  • Nomad, 1963

    James Rosenquist

    What appears to be a collage of unrelated images from advertisements and everyday photographs fills the surface of this large-scale horizontally oriented painting. A massive bowl of spaghetti and meatballs in the bottom right, a gray picnic table slightly above center, and three ballerina legs paired with the words NEW and Oxy at bottom left. A paint-splatted plastic bag tied at the bottom is suspended from the top-left corner of the canvas; a pile of paint-splattered wood scraps lies on the floor below.
