Contemporary Art November 2, 2008

The Speed Museum features a growing collection of work by contemporary artists in a broad range of media. The collection is global in its outlook and is focused upon the dominant issues and ideas that concern contemporary artists, as well as their bold spirit of experimentation and imaginative use of materials. The collection also creates a framework where regional work can be seen in a national and international context. From the work of Robert Rauschenberg to Kiki Smith, the contemporary collection contains fine examples of painting, sculpture, photo-based and mixed-media works.
