Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • 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.
  • Traits, plans, profondeur (Lines, Planes, Depth), ca. 1920-1922

    František Kupka

    Traits, plans, profondeur (Lines, Planes, Depth)
  • Soleil, tour, aéroplane (Sun, Tower, Airplane), 1913

    Robert Delaunay

    Softly delineated shapes in a rainbow of vivid colors cover the surface of this painting. Near the top right corner, a series of boxes reminiscent of the contours of an early biplane float above a tower of intersecting green lines that extends to the bottom of the canvas. At left, hazy segments of blue, green, red, yellow, and orange intersect with and blend into one another.
  • Frauenbildnis (Portrait of a Woman), 1911

    Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

    A black woman in a blue hat and coat of matching color over a brown skirt and white, high-necked blouse stands at the center of this painting. She appears to be standing up from a red-back chair, her left arm extended against an almost neon green form in the background. The bottom portion of a painting depicting nude figures in a landscape is visible behind her head, and the corner of a table covered with a light blue tablecloth fills the bottom right corner of the canvas.
  • State, 1978

    Robert Ryman

    State
  • Portrait (R. Eisch), 1999

    Thomas Ruff

    The head and shoulders of a white adult male with short brunette hair, blue eyes, and a reddish-brown goatee beard and moustache fill the majority of this large-scale color photograph. He wears a pale blue button-up shirt with a collar; the top-most button is left open. Minute details in the figure’s skin and shadows on the fabric are captured by the camera lens.
  • Only God Knows I'm Good, 2009 (produced 2011)

    Tracey Emin

    The phrase “Only God Knows I’m Good” in cursive English script is fabricated in snow white neon, which is mounted on a wall.
  • Étude pour "Le Chahut" (Study for "Le Chahut"), 1889

    Georges Seurat

    Étude pour "Le Chahut" (Study for "Le Chahut")
  • Divisibilité indéfinie (Indefinite Divisibility), 1942

    Yves Tanguy

    Two biomorphic forms sit side by side in the foreground of this abstract, dream-like landscape. The smaller form on the left includes a gray square with red sticks emerging from its left side. Narrow gray stalks support the blue and pink shapes that make up the taller form on the right, which casts a long shadow toward the top left corner of the painting. Nine small circular discs with white sides and blue surfaces appear scattered throughout the scene.
