The Neuberger Museum of Art, located at the heart of SUNY Purchase College, is a vital cultural resource of modern, contemporary, and African art for Westchester County, NY, and beyond. From the mid-century American and African art that form the collection's core to the presentation of contemporary art, the museum continues the commitment of founding patron Roy R. Neuberger (1903-2010) by championing the art of our time.
Current exhibits include:
Janet Langsam: Improbable Feminist
Married with three kids, living in Queens and keeping house, inspiration came to Janet Langsam one day as she was picking up her children’s toys. Unlike most of us who have picked up our children’s toys and binned or shelved them, wishing our children would learn to do that for themselves, on this day Langsam picked up the toys, put glue all over them, adhered them to a backboard, and covered them in paint.
Janet Langsam: Improbable Feminist surveys the artist’s body of work from its inception to the point at which she redirected her efforts toward making the world a better place through art. It is a story told in the exhibition through the artist’s own words.
Molten Metals
Molten Metals highlights standout works from the Neuberger Museum of Art’s permanent collection, showcasing a range of techniques. Beverly Pepper’s Model for Split Pyramid demonstrates welding, where segments of Corten steel are permanently joined with heat. Harry Bertoia’s Construction (Radiant) uses soldering—a similar process that bonds metal parts with an alloy. Dorothy Dehner’s Long Landscape exemplifies casting, where molten bronze is poured into a mold and cooled to form a single unified shape.
Then and Now
Then and Now is an ongoing exhibition that includes a rotation of works from the museum’s collection of nearly 7,000 objects.
