Broad in scope, Chase's collection showcases works by the most distinguished artists of the modern era, from mid-century to the present. Assembled from Chase offices worldwide, including Japan, Argentina, Spain, Brazil, and Mexico, this unique cultural opportunity of a lifetime contains many pieces previously unseen in the United States.

This landmark exhibition will present a wondrous display of 120 contemporary masterpieces, including: a powerful thirty-eight foot mural by Sam Francis; a soaring mobile by Alexander Calder; and a landmark video installation by Nam June Paik.
