| The
Speed 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. Highlights
include works by Petah Coyne, Tony Cragg, Henry Moore, Alice Neel,
Helen Frankenthaler, Ilse Haider, Sam Gilliam, Tania Kovats, Dinh
Q. Lê, Vik Muniz, Elizabeth Murray, Tony Oursler, Carter
Potter, Arturo Alonzo Sandoval, Lorna Simpson, Juan Muñoz,
and Carrie Mae Weems. |
