Pure sensation. Layered compositions. Personal, yet universal.

From a midcentury action painting by Joan Mitchell, to nature-inspired abstraction from Willem de Kooning and a contemporary tour de force by Cecily Brown, this collection of exceptional paintings weaves a web of influence among artists and eras.

Each work in the collection stands on its own as a virtuosic expression of colour, gesture and individual artistic intent, together telling a sweeping story of creative exploration. More than simply reflections of their moment, these works are timeless acts of creation that continue to provoke, inspire and connect.
