Alongside the permanent collection, critically acclaimed special exhibitions feature the works of 20th-century masters, mid-career and emerging artists. The museum's signature biannual award, the 'Roy R. Neuberger Prize', recognizes the work of exceptional contemporary artists, continuing its founding patron's dedication to supporting artists early in their careers. Artists in the collection include
