Steven Scott Collects: Donations and Promised Gifts to the Permanent Collection

A man and woman sit next to each other on a bed. The man, topless, sits with his back to the woman. She sits leaning against him and looking away, her head resting on her hand and her elbow on her bent knee. A photo on the wall behind them appears to be of the same man.

Featured Artists

Guerrilla Girls
The Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous collective of artist-activists promoting gender and racial equality.
Four figures stand side by side and wear gorilla masks that cover their entire heads. The background shows a sunlit building with arched windows, sky, and in the lower right corner a small glimpse of water and the tip of a gondola. Each guerilla holds a pink sign with black text.
Hollis Sigler
Hollis Sigler created psychologically complex paintings, drawings, and prints grounded in personal experience.
A black-and-white photograph of a smiling adult light-skinned woman with dark, bobbed hair. She wears a dark high-neck garment with a large heart-shaped brooch at the neck, drop earrings, and dark eyeshadow. Behind her is a painting with two figures and a spiral staircase.
Hung Liu
Hung Liu blended Chinese and Western artistic influences to explore Chinese history and culture, gender, identity, and memory.
A light-medium-skinned older woman leans her elbow against an interior marble balustrade. Her grey and black hair is pulled back, and she wears a black long-sleeve top and drop earrings, a red necklace, a red ring, and a red heart-shaped lapel pin.
Cindy Sherman
Through her photographs, Cindy Sherman examines women’s roles in society and questions the ways in which the viewer looks at and identifies with the women she portrays.
A black-and-white photograph of a light-skinned adult woman with medium-length straight blonde hair. She wears a dark colored long sleeved shirt. Shown from her mid-section up, she stands in front of a brick wall and glances to the side.
Alison Saar
Alison Saar creates artworks that frequently transform found objects to reflect themes of cultural and social identity, history, and religion.
A light-skinned, adult woman speaking with one hand extended and the other touching her neck in a white gallery filled with her colorful artworks depicting African-American women. She has curly gray hair, glasses, and wears a simple, black, sleeveless top and a necklace.
Louise Bourgeois
Louise Bourgeois is considered one of the most inventive and influential sculptors of the 20th century for her use of unconventional materials and allusive psychological content.
Black-and-white photograph of an older woman with her short, dark hair brushed back. Sitting with her left hand raised, her deeply lined face looks off-camera, her eyes squinting slightly and her lips pursed. She wears a gold earring, gold wedding ring and a white shirt.
Nan Goldin
Nan Goldin creates uncomfortably personal photographs that shatter traditional notions of fine art photography.
Black-and-white photograph of the artist Nan Goldin, who has light skin tone, dark curly hair that frames her face. She is resting her right hand on her chin as she looks head on.
Petah Coyne
Petah Coyne evokes intensely personal associations in sculptures made of incredibly varied materials.
A black-and-white photograph of a light-skinned adult older woman seen from the chin up. She has a salt-and-pepper bob haircut and wears a dark turtleneck.
