Buffalo AKG Art Museum Summary

Buffalo AKG Art Museum: Collection Handbook by Cathleen Chaffee

With nearly 400 pages, this entirely new collection handbook presents over 330 works by 265 artists, arranged alphabetically rather than chronologically, and is the premier souvenir publication for museum visitors and art lovers alike. In late 2019 the Albright-Knox Art Gallery broke new ground on the most significant campus expansion and development project in its 160-year history, reopening in 2023 as the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. The Museum's collections span some of the greatest moments in art through the centuries, beginning with its first acquisition, The Marina Piccola, Capri, 1859, by Albert Bierstadt-both the first painting and the first work gifted by an artist to enter the museum's collection. Impressionism and post-Impressionism are well represented with works by leading nineteenth-century European artists such as Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Vincent van Gogh. Cubism, Surrealism, Constructivism, and other movements from the revolutionary early years of the 20th century come to life through significant works by Georges Braque, Andre Derain, Frida Kahlo, Fernand Leger, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Piet Mondrian, Georgia O'Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, and Alexander Rodchenko.
