"The Roy R. Neuberger Collection reveals the perceptive and passionate interests of one of the twentieth-century's most important collectors of contemporary American art. Built mainly between the early 1940s and the 1960s, the Collection is strongest in works that document the evolution of modernism in the visual arts of North America. Remarkably, the majority of the objects Neuberger acquired at the height of his collecting--in the 1940s and 1950s--were purchased within a month to a year or two of their execution dates, reflecting his commitment to support living artists. The Neuberger Collection, now the cornerstone of the Neuberger Museum of Art, totals more than 850 objects, and remains among the finest personal art collections in a public institution in the United States. This reinstallation of the Roy R. Neuberger collection is part of the Museum's fortieth anniversary celebration."--Neuberger Museum website, viewed September 23, 2014.
