Global Crossings: Selections from the Lunder Collection

Location

Space

Dates

A hazy, luminous oil painting of Venice at sunset. Pale yellow light from a central sun reflects on the water, illuminating a cluster of sailboats with colorful sails. The city skyline and the dome of Santa Maria della Salute are visible as misty silhouettes in the background. Two figures sit on a small stone pier in the lower right foreground.

Selected Works

Bernd and Hilla Becher

A grid of eight black-and-white photographs, each depicting a different industrial grain elevator. The structures are large, angular, and functional, captured from various angles against plain skies, emphasizing their "anonymous sculpture" quality.

Mary Cassatt

A classical oil portrait of a young woman looking upward and to the right with an expressive, soulful gaze. She has dark hair tied with a vibrant blue ribbon and wears a loose-fitting white chemise. The background is a neutral, mottled olive green.

Gustave Courbet

A romantic oil painting of a couple resting at the base of a massive, ancient tree trunk. The woman sits upright while the man reclines beside her. Dark woods surround them, contrasted by a bright blue sky with white clouds visible through the tree's branches.

Rembrandt van Rijn

An intricate, dark-toned etching of a scholar or alchemist in a study. The figure is hunched over a desk, looking toward a glowing, circular mystical symbol hovering in front of a window. The room is filled with books, a globe, and a skull in the shadows.

Edward Steichen

A Tonalist landscape painting featuring a wide river or lake at twilight, rendered in deep blues and greens. The scene is viewed through a frame of dark, silhouetted trees in the foreground. Small, distant lights are visible on the far shore, reflecting faintly on the water's surface.

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye

A modern, expressive oil painting of a Black man with a beard, smiling and looking off-camera. He is seated, wearing a black tank top and light-colored trousers. The brushwork is loose and gestural, with a warm, earthy color palette.

Artist unidentified

A ceramic sculpture of a horse from the Tang Dynasty. The horse is buff-colored with its head reared back and mouth open in a neigh. It features a decorative saddle blanket with faded red and yellow patterns.

Alexander Calder

A hanging kinetic mobile sculpture. It consists of thin wire arms supporting various flat, organic, and geometric shapes in black, red, yellow, and white. The piece is suspended against a neutral grey background.

Pablo Picasso

A minimalist Cubist line drawing in black ink on paper. It depicts the stylized form of a seated woman resting her head on her hand. The composition uses intersecting geometric shapes and fluid, overlapping lines to define her features and torso.
