Part of Cy Twombly's Green Paintings collections
Cy Twombly's untitled works, also known as the "green paintings" or the “ponds.” The artist considered the nine separate canvases a single work of art and painted them simultaneously in forty-eight hours with his hands, rather than brushes.

The legendary American painter and author Faith Rinngold said she posed two or three times for this portrait. American artist Alice Neel painted her wearing a red dress with a patterned skirt and sleeves. She wears beads in her hair and around her neck along with hoop earrings. Ringgold is seated in a blue-and-white striped chair that appears in many of Neel’s portraits. Ringgold lived and worked in Englewood, N.J., but she was born in Harlem and lived there for more than half of her career. The neighborhood inspired “Tar Beach,” the first of many children’s books authored by Ringgold. She was an inspirational activist during much of her life, participating in several feminist and anti-racist organizations. Neel lived in East Harlem (Spanish Harlem) from 1938 to 1962. Then, she moved to West 107th Street, on the Upper West Side, a few blocks south of West Harlem, where she lived the rest of her life. She painted in her apartment, making portraits of her friends, neighbors, political activists, and fellow artists—many of them people of color. Ringgold had known Neel about a decade when she sat for the portrait. They met in the late 1960s at the Art Workers Coalition. Ringgold said Neel was “interested in all kinds of change and progress.” In 2000, she told New York magazine she had just returned from West Africa when Neel asked to paint her nude. Ringgold said in part: “I knew Alice had a way of painting people so that you saw them in ways you’d never seen them before. I didn’t want to be uncovered in that way. Now I kind of wish I had done it back then—because today I definitely wouldn’t pose in the nude. So anyway, I put on this red dress and my hair was braided with beads, because I had just come back from my trip and I thought the beads would go over well in Ghana and Nigeria, and that I could pass as an African—but they all knew I was American.”
