Metropolitan Museum of Art: Modern art
The Met's modern art collection, housed on the second-floor Lila Acheson Wallace Wing, is a fascinating and relatively compact group of paintings. Picasso's Portrait of Gertrude Stein and his blue-period The Blind Man's Meal are here, alongside works by Klee, Modigliani, Braque and Klimt . Other highlights include Hopper 's Views From Williamsburg Bridge and O'Keefe 's, sumptuous, erotic Black Iris , Pollock 's masterly Autumn Rhythm (Number 30) and Warhol 's Last Self-Portrait , which dates from 1986.
