This selection of art since 1990 is drawn from a collection of approximately 600 works that reflect various directions emerging in today's art, from fascinating reprises of tradition to phenomena that appear startlingly new. The focus is on particular works of art rather than representations of a movement or direction. However, certain trends can be identified: a theme of whimsy, the prominence of photographically-based work, the equal importance of figuration and abstraction. Fifty-four artists are represented, among them Fatimah Tuggar (Nigeria), Neo Rauch (Germany), Mike Kelley (U.S.), Marlene Dumas (South Africa), and Vik Muniz (Brazil). Neuberger Berman has a history with contemporary art reaching back over sixty years. Roy Neuberger went to Paris in the 1920s with the thought of becoming an artist; he returned home and founded the financial management company in order to earn the money necessary to fulfill his passion for collecting.
