Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • 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.
  • State, 1978

    Robert Ryman

    State
  • 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.
  • Exuberance, 1955

    Hans Hofmann

    Multidirectional, abstract brushstrokes animate the surface of this vertically oriented canvas. Dark blues, greens, and blacks contrast with passages of pale yellow and red. Two areas of red at top right and toward the bottom of the lower edge of the canvas seem to pulsate forward. At top left, a dark brown arc that looks like the letter C is surrounded with a dark rectangular outline.
  • "Untitled" (Double Portrait), 1991

    Felix Gonzalez-Torres

    "Untitled" (Double Portrait)
  • Petit nu bleu (Little Blue Nude), ca. 1878-1879

    Pierre-Auguste Renoir

    A young white-skinned woman, nude to the waist, sits on the grassy bank of a body of water in the center of this vertically oriented painting. A blue cloth or portion of a garment with white edges loosely covers her lap. She grasps her left ankle, which rests on her right knee, with both hands, and she gazes toward the bottom left of the canvas. The paint was applied quickly and loosely with visible brushstrokes.
  • Untitled (intern "Shape 7") (KG/O 2010_8031L), 2010

    Katharina Grosse

    This abstract sculpture appears overall like an oversized piece of paper with a V-shaped divot cut out of the right side and curling edges. It balances on the floor near its center. The underside of the plastic form is white, but bright patches of spray-painted yellow, blue, green, purple, orange, black, gray, and pink cover the top, overlapping and dripping onto one another.
  • 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.
  • Milkweed, 1955

    Lee Krasner

    This vertically oriented canvas seems to contain three layers. Softly defined rectangles in shades of mottled green, white, and cream form the background. Six large, amorphous black shapes with ragged edges rest on top. Finally, three cream-colored slivers extend vertically from the base of painting on its right side. Near the top and to the left of these forms, three small orange shapes peep out from background.
