This gallery contains early examples of the New York School that developed during and after World War II. One hallmark of this unofficial school is Surrealist-inspired biomorphic imagery, found here in a black mobile by Alexander Calder, a ten-foot marble sculpture by Isamu Noguchi, and a sumptuously colored canvas by Arshile Gorky.
The gallery also features a work from Willem de Kooning's first Woman series as well as two of his black-and-white compositions from the late 1940s. An important early work by Jackson Pollock, Pasiphaë, in a quasi-figurative style, explores the artist's interest in Greek myth.
