Collection Highlights

All Collection Highlights
  • Exuberance, 1955

    Hans Hofmann

    Multidirectional, abstract brushstrokes animate the surface of this vertically oriented canvas. Dark blues, greens, and blacks contrast with passages of pale yellow and red. Two areas of red at top right and toward the bottom of the lower edge of the canvas seem to pulsate forward. At top left, a dark brown arc that looks like the letter C is surrounded with a dark rectangular outline.
  • Cinema, 1963

    George Segal

    Cinema
  • Triptych with Footprints, 1970

    Antoni Tàpies

    Three vertical cream-colored panels are joined to form a long thin horizontal work. A series of footprints stretches across all three panels, slightly above their centers. On the left panel, gray cloudlike forms float at top and bottom, and a grouping of letters and lines stretch diagonally from the upper left-hand toward the center. A series of lines and waves fill the bottom half of the right panel.
  • Yellow Movie 2/23-24/73, 1973

    Tony Conrad

    A large, white, horizontally oriented rectangle, edged by a thick, black outline, sits in the center of a sheet of dusty rose colored paper. The top and bottom edges of the paper are jagged, suggesting it was torn from a roll.
  • La Source de la Loue (The Source of the Loue), ca. 1864

    Gustave Courbet

    The dark mouth of a cave fills the center of this image. It is framed in the upper portion of the canvas by an arch of highly textured rocks in shades of light brown flecked with touches of cool red, pink, and blue. Dark water that becomes white foam as it flows over boulders at the bottom edge of the painting flows forth from the cave entrance.
  • L'Homme au hamac (Man in a Hammock), 1913

    Albert Gleizes

    L'Homme au hamac (Man in a Hammock)
  • Year of Meteors, 1961

    Robert Indiana

    At the center of the painting is a blue, eight-pointed star against a green background within two concentric circles of stenciled, all-capitalized text on white. The circle within the smaller of these rings is green, and the background visible outside the larger of these rings is blue. The text in the smaller of these rings is blue and the text in the larger of these rings is green.
  • Composition No. 11, 1940-42--LONDON, with Blue, Red and Yellow, 1940-1942

    Piet Mondrian

    Composition No. 11, 1940-42--LONDON, with Blue, Red and Yellow
  • 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.
