Kress Collection of 14th through early 19th-century European paintings, including 26 panels of a 15th-century Spanish altarpiece from the Cathedral of Ciudad Rodrigo and a permanent exhibit of 61 clay and plaster models and sketches by 20th-century sculptor Jacques Lipchitz. Other strengths of the collection include a concentration in American paintings and prints of the 1930s, modernist paintings from 1920-1970, more than 2,000 prints from the last five centuries, and more than 60 works on paper by Maynard Dixon and Paul Landacre, two important Southwestern artists from earlier in this century.
