Modigliani's painting Elvira Resting at a Table captures Elvira's bright blue, almond-shaped eyes, which reflect the artist's trademark, found in many of his works. Sadly, Modigliani painted this portrait the year before his death from tuberculosis at the age of 35. See Elvira Resting at a Table in person, on view in Gallery 213.

Tyler Gebhard was a beloved brother, son, and grandson. He was a compassionate 20 year old who had his entire life ahead of him. Ten years ago today, Tyler was killed by an off-duty policeman in the home of people he knew. For a decade, his family, led by the fierce love of his grandmother, Marlene, has turned heartbreaking grief into unwavering advocacy. We stand with them today, continuing to fight for truth, demanding transparency over lies and cover-ups, refusing to let police hide behind injustice.
