 The New York University Art Collection, of which the Grey Art Gallery is now guardian, was founded in 1958 with NYU's acquisition of Francis Picabia’s "Resonateur" (c.1922) and Fritz Glarner’s "Relational Painting" (1949–50).Today the collection (which includes approximately 6,000 objects) is primarily composed of late-19th and 20th-century works, ranging from Pablo Picasso’s monumental public sculpture "Bust of Sylvette" to a Joseph Cornell box, "Chocolat Menier", from 1952.The collection's particular strength is American painting from the 1940s to the present.
