Artists Milton Avery, Magdalena Jetelova, Tony Cragg, Philip Guston, Martin Puryear, and Stuart Davis are represented in this overview of modern works acquired by the museum as gifts or purchases since 1986.

Among the works are—

  • Capriccio Musicale (The Circus) by Daniel Vladimir Baranoff-Rossine—a Cubo-Futuristic painting.
  • Untitled by Jasper Johns—a memento-like box construction showing a collage of printed matter above a cast of a woman's face. 
  • Totem Tone Beat V by Stephen Von Huene makes sounds like a pipe organ for 3 minutes every hour on the half-hour.
  • The Sorceress by Yves Tinguely vibrates for 10 seconds daily: Mon.-Sat., 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.; Sun., 1 and 3 p.m.
