Explore The Legacy

The Art Students League of New York is home to a permanent collection that traces the history of American art since the League’s founding in 1875. Featuring more than 2,600 outstanding works by instructors and alumni of the League, the collection features every discipline taught in our studios—from painting and drawing to sculpture and printmaking. It features work from some of the most important names in American art, including but not limited to Charles Alston, Milton Avery, Robert Blackburn, Alexander Calder, Joseph Delaney, Morton Kaish, Norman Lewis, Frank Mason, Louise Nevelson, Georgia O’Keeffe, Mavis Pusey, Norman Rockwell, and William Zorach.
