About The Art Collection
Founded with the mission of bringing art and culture to residents who could no longer visit cultural institutions on their own, The Art Collection continues to grow through the generosity of donors.
Our permanent collection includes work by such renowned artists as Marc Chagall, Alex Katz, Robert Mangold, Joan Mitchell, Louise Nevelson, Pablo Picasso, Ben Shahn, and Andy Warhol. Our collection can be explored further via our online database. A rarity in New York City, the Hebrew Home at Riverdale has a sculpture garden that overlooks the magnificent Hudson River and Palisades. It includes works by such sculptors as Herbert Ferber, Menashe Kadishman, Reuben Nakian, Marsha Pels, and Joel Perlman, among others.
Art for Children
Art for the young (and young at heart) may be found throughout the Hebrew Home including two indoor garden railroad dioramas by the award-winning landscape architect Paul Busse, known for his annual Holiday Train display at the New York Botanical Garden, and Pickles and Egg Cream, an installation of miniatures providing a peek into 20th-century immigrant New York.
Yankees Dugout
Delighting sports fans of all ages, our Yankees exhibit features authentic memorabilia from the Bronx Bombers, including seats from the old Yankee Stadium, bats and game balls, and even autographed items from the legendary Derek Jeter.
Sculpture Garden
Comprised of some 47 works and the only sculpture garden in the Bronx, the collection features works in a range of materials from metals to natural elements and in an assortment of styles from figurative to abstract. Outdoor sculpture has been central to the Art Collection since the late 1960s and is displayed against the natural panorama of the Hudson River and Palisades.
