Architecture

The foundation has two main galleries, one of them double-height, overlooking the High Line, and some smaller spaces also designed for showing art.[6]

Works

The Hill Collection focuses on in-depth collecting within four main categories: Renaissance and Baroque bronzes, Old Master paintings, Modern Masters, and Contemporary artists. Works from the Hill Collection have been loaned to prominent museums worldwide, including the 2014 exhibition Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes from the Hill Collection at The Frick Collection which featured Renaissance and Baroque bronzes and a selection of Post-War works from the collection.[7]

In addition to rotating exhibitions of works from the Hill Collection and other domains, select works from the Hill Collection are permanently installed. Drains, a 1990 sculpture in cast pewter by Robert Gober, is installed inset into the walls of the gallery, Untitled, a monumental 2013 sculpture in bronze and copper-plated steel by Christopher Wool is installed on an outdoor terrace, and The Creation and the Expulsion from Paradise, a 1533 series of stained glass panels by Valentin Bousch is installed opposite the windows overlooking West 24th Street.[8]
