Contemporary Art August 9, 2008

The museum's commitment to the art of our own time is demonstrated through our dynamic and growing collection of contemporary art. Beginning with Abstract Expressionist works by Grace Hartigan, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko and continuing through Pop and Minimal art by Chuck Close, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Serra, and Frank Stella, American art from the 1960s and 1970s is well-represented in the contemporary collection. Another strength of the museum's contemporary holdings is postwar German art, including signature works by Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar Polke, and Gerhard Richter.
