From its foundation as The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy in 1862, through the twentieth century and continuing today, the Gallery has implemented an energetic acquisitions strategy, giving rise to an extraordinary collection of art. This book illustrates more than 150 highlights of the Gallery's Collection, including works by Louise Bourgeois, Chuck Close, Tara Donovan, Sol LeWitt, Marisol, Henri Matisse, Bruce Nauman, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Jennifer Steinkamp, and Rachel Whiteread. Curator of Education Mariann W. Smith takes a thematic approach that complements the overall curatorial approach of the Gallery, presenting well-known masterworks of the modern era alongside works by some of today's most exciting and influential artists.
