  • 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.

  • 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.
