About the Heckscher Museum of Art
Huntington, New York, is home to the Heckscher Museum of Art, which collects American art. Anna and August Heckscher, its benefactors, gave 185 works of art in 1920 for a new Beaux-Arts building in Heckscher Park, and the museum bears their name. Julius Franke of the New York firm Maynicke & Franke designed the building.
The collection has expanded from 185 works to more than 2,300 and covers over 500 years. It is strongest in American artists of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, with a focus on American and Long Island artists, and its holdings range from American and European modernism to photography. The earliest major piece is a 1534 work by Lucas Cranach the Elder showing the Virgin and Child with St. John the Baptist and angels, while the best-known painting is Eclipse of the Sun (1926) by George Grosz.
In 1957 the Town of Huntington turned over the museum's management to an independent board of trustees, and the collection started to grow again. In 2001, D. Frederick Baker and Ronald G. Pisano donated a large group of American paintings and drawings, among the biggest gifts since August Heckscher's own.

- Rounded bays and small roof boxes
- Rounded corner bays and small boxes sit on the roof of this low building. Print friendly adapts these small shapes to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on larger prints.
