In June 2008, the museum opened the 45,000-square-foot Jane and Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions designed by internationally renowned French architect Jean-Paul Viguier. Today, 200,000 visitors a year enjoy works by modern masters including Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Joan Mitchell, Alice Neel, Georgia O’Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The 25 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds include sculptures by Willie Cole, Robert Indiana, Luis A. Jiménez Jr., Alejandro Martín, George Rickey, Joel Shapiro, Kiki Smith, Tom Wesselmann, and more.

The May 2026 issue of 78209 Magazine spotlights "untitled: 20 Years of Collecting Contemporary Art," our banner exhibition which features visitor favorite “The Cocktail Party” by Sandy Skoglund and over 200 other contemporary artworks acquired over the last twenty years.

In this cover story, editor Taylor Lane sat down with former Head of Curatorial Affairs René Paul Barilleaux, who shares a deeply personal reflection on his final exhibition.

"Ultimately, 'untitled' is less a retrospective than a living archive. One that continues to evolve even as it looks back," Lane observes, "'untitled' lives up to its name, not as something unfinished, but as something still unfolding."
