Fine landscape masterpieces in the Hudson River tradition, including Sanford Robinson Gifford's The Marshes of the Hudson (1878), light-filled impressionist canvases, such as Mary Cassatt's Reading "Le Figaro" (1877-78); dazzling Gilded Age glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany and paintings by John Singer Sargent; gritty Ashcan records from a dynamic New York City, such as George Bellow's Noon (1908); vivid aesthetic creations of the modern age; the triumphant abstract expressionism of Willem de Kooning; and resonant contemporary works by Andrew Wyeth and David Hockney are shared here. During the twenty years of the American Art Forum's existence, art of the American West has achieved a major place among art historians and collectors. This is reflected in the inclusion of major canvases by Georgia O'Keeffe, such as Black Cross with Red Sky (1929), John Marin's Taos Canyon, New Mexico (1929), and James Earle Fraser's moving bronze sculpture, End of the Trail (1918).
