Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Les Arbres (The Trees), ca. 1906

    André Derain

    A vibrantly colored landscape with several slim-trunked trees and mountains in the background fills this canvas. The sky is a light yellow while the ground is a slightly darker, sandy hue. The artist used cool blues with patches of crimson to depict the mountains, and warm reds, yellows, and oranges to emphasize tall, thin tree trunks in the foreground. Shadows fall diagonally from the trees toward the right hand corner of the painting where the artist’s small, blue signature rests.
  • 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.
  • The Cone, 1960

    Alexander Calder

    A large playful sculpture made of thin sheets of black metal forming a partially open cone that stands on its circular base. A thin metal rod is balanced across the cone’s pointed top. Numerous interconnected wires and rods, each of which ends in a small white metal circle, hang from one side of the rod. The weight of the many wires and circles on one side of the central rod is counterbalanced and held in equilibrium by a single red circle on the rod’s other end.
  • Boys cutting through a hedge, 2003

    Jeff Wall

    Just left of this image’s center, the small figures of two young men emerge from a gap in the largely dead hedge with patches of ivy growing around a chain-link fence that spans across the center of this image beneath an ominously clouded sky. The neatly trimmed grass, sunken headstones, and flower arrangements in the foreground suggest that these men are entering a cemetery.
  • Other Faces, 2011

    William Kentridge

    Other Faces
  • SP273, 2014

    Sterling Ruby

    SP273
  • 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.
  • Femme cousant (Woman Sewing), ca. 1879

    Berthe Morisot

    The profile of a young woman bent intensely over the sewing work she holds in her hands fills the foreground of this portrait-oriented painting. Her caramel-colored hair is pulled back from her face in a bun, and she wears a dark green dress topped with a white lace shawl. In the background, a white urn and a wooden box open to reveal its red interior sit on top of a table covered in a cream colored and floral patterned cloth.
  • 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.
