It may come as a surprise to see this painting by Salvador Dali in the context of a contemporary art collection, but it is an heirloom that tells a story of the de la Cruz family's long time appreciation for the arts.

“In Kippenberger’s art, the self is but a reference and not the symptom of the artist’s state of mind.”

In 2871 East, 2012, Mark Bradford uses a technique where materials, like the papers used in permanent hair treatments at salons are layered atop each other, and when sanded down, reveal a grid and sneaker motif emblematic of the same neighborhood where Bradford grew up.

Strategy rather than virtuosity shines through Tauba Auerbach’s Untitled (Fold), 2010 and synthesizes seemingly contradictory ideas, utilizing models derived from the movement of particles at the molecular level to demonstrate these infinite possibilities in spatial reasoning.

One of the joys of art is that it brings comfort in times of uncertainty. “Untitled”(31 Days of Bloodwork), 1991, documents a deeply personal and cathartic practice by Félix González-Torres to help process the passing of his partner, Ross Laycock, as well as his own mortality. ⁠
