From Behind Closed Doors revealed "mysteries" from the Albright-Knox's storage vaults. Lesser-known 20th century paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings devoted to the human figure were integrated with better-known objects from the museum’s collection. Among the works were Reginald Marsh's study of bathers, Swimming off West Washington Market, 1940, and Robert Henri's brilliant portrait of a Chinese girl, Tam Gan, 1914. Andy Warhol's portfolio of 10 silkscreens of Mao Tse-Tung were also presented, along with the mechanized sculpture, Newton Discovering Gravity, 1984, by Dennis Oppenheim.
The exhibition was presented at the Anderson Gallery, Martha Jackson Place, University at Buffalo, as some sections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery was closed for renovation.
This exhibition was organized by Director Douglas G. Schultz.
