American Made: Paintings and Sculpture from the DeMell Jacobsen Collection features more than 100 works of art by renowned American artists such as John Singer Sargent, Elizabeth Catlett, Mary Cassatt, Robert Henri, Sarah Miriam Peale, Thomas Cole, and Charles Alston, among others.

LeUyen Came Along: The Art of LeUyen Pham

A Sparkling Legacy: The Judith Leiber Collection
Judith Leiber created exquisitely designed couture women’s accessories that blur the boundaries between fashion and fine art. Most known for her semiprecious adorned minaudières, or compact occasion cases, her creations also include day bags, belts, and pillboxes.
The Rosalie K. and Sydney Shaftman Gallery was reimagined in celebration of the Taubman Museum of Art’s 75th Anniversary. Envisioned as a sparkling cavern, the installation was designed as an homage to architect Randall Stout’s first vision for the gallery, which would have displayed the minaudières in plexiglass boxes suspended from the ceiling to the floor.
The cavern concept is in keeping with Stout’s idea of the second-floor hallway as a riverbed with gallery “caverns” branching from it.
