The collection began with an initial gift from Matthew Vassar of 3,800 works of art, including an important group of Hudson River School paintings and English watercolors. Today, the Art Center's collection has grown to over 18,000 works of art that span antiquity to the present. Notable holdings include the Warburg Collection of Old Master prints and a wide range of works by major European and American twentieth century painters, including Georgia O'Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Joan Miro, Mark Rothko, and Andy Warhol.
