Neuberger Museum of Art

Neuberger Museum of Art Modern, contemporary, and African art, located at the heart of Purchase College. Founded in 1969 with a promised gift of 300 works by Roy R.

The Neuberger Museum of Art is a center of teaching and learning for all stages of life. Experience exhibitions of modern, contemporary and African art and art-inspired events in our Philip Johnson-designed building at the heart of Purchase College, State University of New York. Neuberger—one of the greatest private collectors, philanthropists, and arts advocates of the twentieth century—the Museu

m’s collection has grown to over 6,000 objects by artists including Milton Avery, Romare Bearden, Willem de Kooning, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Jackson Pollock. Our signature biannual award, the Roy R. Neuberger Prize, recognizes the work of exceptional contemporary artists, continuing our founding patron’s dedication to supporting artists early in their careers. Alongside our permanent collection, critically acclaimed special exhibitions draw local, regional, and international audiences to our galleries in Westchester. Tours, lectures, and programs engage our broad and diverse community. On any day, you can see adults, families, K-12 school children and their teachers, and Purchase College students, faculty, and staff enjoying the museum. At the Neuberger, appreciating art is active and interactive. Here, students, scholars, artists, and art lovers find common ground to experiment, question, and grow.

That said, many, many years ago, I was sitting in my office here at the Neuberger with one of the Guerrilla Girls: she had come to speak to a class of mine and was taking a break prior.
