Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Piano Piece, 1993

    Nam June Paik

    At the heart of this sculpture are thirteen boxy television sets of different sizes stacked atop of an upright player piano. Some screens livestream the moving keys as recorded by a video camera on a tripod set up in front of the piano while others show prerecorded footage of hands playing a piano. A white stool and a small spotlight on a tripod illuminating the keyboard are also set up in front of the piano.
  • Peristyle: Five Lines, 1963-1964

  • The Transparent Simulacrum of the Feigned Image, 1938

    Salvador Dalí

    The Transparent Simulacrum of the Feigned Image
  • Head - Red and Yellow, 1962

    Roy Lichtenstein

    A woman’s head and neck, cleanly outlined like a classic comic book illustration, fills the majority of this large square canvas. This figure is painted in bright red and white against a solid yellow background. The woman looks toward the right and her large mouth is opened in a laugh. Shoulder length, loosely curled hair frames her face. Her skin is covered with a field of miniscule red dots in emulation of halftone printing.
  • Les Falaises de Gréville (The Cliffs of Gréville), 1871-1872

    Jean-François Millet

    Beneath a looming mass of clouds that fills the top third of this painting, rocky cliffs extend into a calm sea painted in tones of grayish blue and green. A cluster of large gray rocks fills the foreground, and the remainder of the cliffs, dotted with additional clusters of boulders amid pale green grass, extend to fill much of the left half of the canvas. A thin line of white traces where the sea meets irregular, meandering path of the coast.
  • Over the Edge, 1992

    Peter Halley

    A light gray-green square sits slightly above center and fills much of this square canvas. L shapes of varying widths in cream, burnt orange, black, and mustard yellow extend from the square into the taupe-colored margins above and to the left and right of the square. Two additional brighter yellow L shapes, one dramatically thicker than the other, extend from the square into the burgundy-colored margin below the square.
  • Dinamismo di un cane al guinzaglio (Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash), 1912

    Giacomo Balla
