Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Music and Literature, 1878

    William Michael Harnett

    Music and Literature
  • Carnaval d'Arlequin (Carnival of Harlequin), 1924-1925

    Joan Miró

    This painting features a beige-color room full of fantastical creatures performing music and acrobatics, and floating through the air. These colorful beings are shaped like musical instruments, insects, animals, and mermaids and interact with instruments, musical notes, a ladder, dice, unicycle, a shooting star, and other objects. A window at top right looks out onto a landscape, and beneath it is a table with a fish, a globe, and papers.
  • Paysans dans les champs, Éragny (Peasants in the Fields, Éragny), 1890

    Camille Pissarro

    A landscape of recently cleared fields and grass covered hills beneath a sunny blue sky filled with white clouds fills this horizontally oriented painting. In the bottom left foreground, a woman holding a basket in her right hand watches as a man thrusts a shovel into the ground. A horse-drawn wagon approaches in the distance, and a child sits in the field toward the right edge of the painting. The entire scene is rendered in individual dots of paint in deep blue, violet, green, orange, and other shades.
  • No. 15, 1952

    Ad Reinhardt

    No. 15
  • L'Ambitieuse (Political Woman), 1883-1885

    James Tissot

    A woman in an elaborately ruffled pink dress with a large feathered fan enters an ornately decorated ballroom filled with party-goers on the arm of a much older gentleman. She looks left and outward beyond the viewer, while the attention of nearly all other male figures in the scene is directed at her. The textures of various surfaces and fabrics are painted with rich detail and texture, especially the pink dress ruffles gathered on a plush red ottoman at the bottom of the frame.
  • Le Feu d'artifice (Fireworks), 1887

    James Ensor

    Le Feu d'artifice (Fireworks)
  • Multiplied, 1972

    Philip Guston

    A forest of cartoon-like shoe soles protruding from thin, disembodied legs that sprout from an abstract red ground dominates the center of this image. A child-like rendering of the sun as an orange circle framed by black rays peeks out from the top right portion of this thicket. A white triangular mound marked with two vertical lines suggesting eyes enters from the right edge of the canvas.
  • Elke-Akt 2, 1976

    Georg Baselitz

    An upside-down, loosely painted image of a seated woman fill this vertically oriented painting. The woman’s face, near the bottom center of the canvas, is quite legible, but her form progressively becomes more abstract toward her feet at the upper right of the canvas. The confident, gray strokes that define her outline are filled with white and occasional rose hues; the background is also predominately white.
  • 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.
