"The Allbright-Knox features a mixture of contemporary and modern art styles."

"The Albright-Knox Art Gallery enjoys a worldwide reputation as an outstanding center of modern art. Thomas Hoving, art historian and former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, recently said that "the Albright-Knox Art Gallery should be on everyone's list to see, for it's an overwhelming art experience. Small, intimate, and seductive, the museum has one of the most thumping modern and contemporary collections in the world." The Gallery's collection is especially rich in post-war American and European art, acquired mostly through the generosity of its patron, the late Seymour H. Knox, Jr. Abstract expressionism, pop art, and art of the 1970s through the end of the century are well represented by exceptional examples by artists such as Gorky, Pollock, Warhol, and Johns. In addition, the Gallery visitor will find that the permanent collection offers a panorama of art through the centuries. Impressionism and Post-Impressionism are well represented by such leading French artists of the nineteenth century as Gauguin and van Gogh. Cubism, surrealism, constructivism, and other trends of the revolutionary twenties and thirties are documented by a large selection of significant works by Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Derain, Miró, Mondrian, Rodchenko, and others."

"The Albright-Knox has an excellent collection of twentieth-century art. The gallery is housed in a structure that was originally built for the Pan American Exposition."

"The Albright-Knox Art Gallery, one of the nation's oldest public arts organizations, has a clear and compelling mission to acquire, exhibit, and preserve both modern and contemporary art. It focuses especially on contemporary art, with an active commitment to taking a global and multidisciplinary approach to the presentation, interpretation, and collection of the artistic expressions of our times. In an enriching, dynamic, and vibrant environment that embraces diverse cultures and traditions, the Gallery seeks to serve a broad and far-reaching audience. It is the commitment of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery to be one of the world's best and most dynamic modern and contemporary art institutions. It will be recognized locally as a vital and energetic cultural gathering place and as an indispensable educational resource for the community. Through its outstanding programs, creative collaborations, and an extraordinary new addition that will address pressing space issues and important programming initiatives, the Gallery will attract a growing national and international audience to the Buffalo Niagara region."

"The gorgeous Albright-Knox is one of Buffalo's can't-miss attractions, a treasure-trove of 5,000 works that should attract more attention than it does. This Greek Revival building, with 18 dramatic marble columns on its facade, dates to 1905 and nabs some exhibits that don't even make it to New York City. The Albright has recently intensified its efforts to sell older works and buy more contemporary art, which fit in well at the museum's newer wing that opened in 1962. Gauguin, Picasso, Pollock, de Kooning, and Warhol are all represented in the permanent collection, while some artists of the moment and cutting-edge photographers are shown here as well. The collection is well organized and not overwhelming, but plan on at least a half-day here -- and lunch in the excellent cafe."
